Etymology
Enameled comes from the older word enamel and the prefix en-, where en- means 'in' and enamel was a name for a hard, glass-like layer put on metal and pottery; think of a shiny, protective 'glaze'. So, to be enameled is to be 'covered with a shiny, protective coat', like a glazed pot or a shiny pan.
