Enamel is the hard, white outer layer of the teeth. It is the hardest substance in the body and protects the teeth from decay.
Enamel is made up of a mineral called hydroxyapatite. Hydroxyapatite is a very strong mineral that is resistant to acids. This is why enamel is so good at protecting the teeth from decay.
Enamel is formed in the early years of life. Once it is formed, it does not grow back. This means that it is important to take care of enamel and prevent it from getting damaged.
Some things that can damage enamel include:

Noun: enamel, enamelware, enameling.
Adjective: enamelled, enamelled.
Verb: to enamel, enamelise.

The word "enamel" comes from the Old French word enamel, which comes from the Latin word ænamellum. The Latin word ænamellum is derived from the Greek word ἐνάμιλλον (enamelon), which means "glaze" or "enamel.".
