The coding pattern involves dividing the word into two halves and reversing the letters within each half.
Original Word: FAMOUS
Wait, the provided code is $MAFSUO$, not $MAFOSU$. Let's re-examine the positional mapping.
Original: F(1) A(2) M(3) O(4) U(5) S(6)
Coded: M(1) A(2) F(3) S(4) U(5) O(6)
Mapping of original positions to coded positions:
The pattern is: The first three letters swap positions 1 and 3 ($1 2 3 -> 3 2 1$). The last three letters swap positions 4 and 6 ($4 5 6 -> 6 5 4$).
So, the transformation rule is: reverse the first three letters and reverse the last three letters.
Word to code: LEGEND
Following the identified coding pattern, LEGEND is written as GELDNE.
