Etymology
The word 'enameled' originates from the late Middle English term 'enamel', which itself derived from the Old French 'email'. This French term traces back to the Vulgar Latin 'ignāmalis', referring to something that is fused by heat, derived from the Latin 'ignis', meaning fire. The process of enameling, which involves fusing a glassy substance to a substrate, has been utilized since ancient times, with evidence of enameled jewelry and artifacts dating back to the Egyptians and Chinese civilizations. The term has evolved over centuries to encompass various applications, from fine arts to industrial uses, maintaining a consistent association with protective and decorative coatings.
