Surface Forms

enode singular
enodes plural

Morphology

enode = node (semi-transparent) = e + node

Formally built from 'e' + 'node', but the meaning of the initial 'e' is domain-specific (e.g., 'electronic', 'Ethereum', or 'Evolved' in LTE), so full sense requires technical knowledge.

Etymology

Enode is made from the letter e- meaning 'electronic' and node meaning 'a point in a network'. So an enode is a network point that helps communicate and share data.
