What does ENAMEL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A hard, glossy coating, such as the protective layer covering the crown of a tooth or a glassy finish fused onto metal or pottery for decoration.
Enamel covers two closely related ideas: the natural, extremely hard tissue that forms the visible surface of teeth, and the artificial glassy coating that craftsmen fuse onto metal, glass or pottery for colour and protection. Both kinds share the same essential quality of being hard, smooth and resistant to wear, which is why they were given the same name. As a verb, to enamel means to apply such a coating, whether a jeweller decorating a brooch or a dentist describing the natural process that hardens a tooth's surface. Enamel paint, a separate but related product, is valued for drying to a similarly hard, glossy finish on wood or metal surfaces.
