Etymology
The word enamelware comes from enamel, a shiny, glass-like coating like the enamel on your teeth, and ware, which means 'goods' or 'objects'. So enamelware is simply household goods, especially kitchen items, covered with a hard enamel layer, which is why they are smooth, easy to clean, and long-lasting.
