Morphology

enameler = enamel (transparent) = enamel + er

Agentive formation from the verb 'enamel' with productive suffix '-er' yields a clear meaning 'one who applies enamel'.

Etymology

Enameler begins with enamel, a word that comes from an old word meaning 'to melt', because enamel is glass melted onto metal. The ending -er means 'one who does', so an enameler is 'one who applies enamel'.
