Root Explanation

Enameler → It is formed from "en-" (meaning to cause to be) and "email" (from Old French *esmail*, meaning enamel). The word "enameler" refers to someone who applies enamel to objects, causing them to be coated with a glossy finish.

Memory Tip

Think of 'causing to be' ('en-') covered with a shiny coating ('email') — that's what an enameler does.
