Morphology

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

Built from 'e' + 'node' to label a node-specific identifier; the structure is transparent in form but the precise convention ('enode://') is technical.

Etymology

Enode is also used as a special address that begins with 'enode://', with enode naming the network node. So an enode works like a node's internet name or ID that lets peers find and connect to it.
