enode singular
enodes plural

Morphology

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

Formed from 'e' + 'node' where 'e' abbreviates a technical term ('Evolved' in LTE), making the compound recognizably a kind of node but domain-specific.

Etymology

Enode comes from e- meaning 'evolved' and node meaning 'a point that connects devices'. So an enode is the mobile base station that gives radio access to phones and other devices.
