Here are all the forms of “pot”, including searching for it as a verb and checking for “pottery”.  As a vessel for holding liquids or solids, it has both Germanic and Latin roots, but the etymology seems to be uncertain.  Oxford English Dictionary tells us:

The word in the Germanic and Romance languages and in post-classical Latin perhaps ultimately shows a loanword from a pre-Celtic language (perhaps Illyrian or perhaps a non-Indo-European substratal language), although a number of other etymologies have also been suggested.

Welsh pot (15th cent.), Irish pota (1475), and Scottish Gaelic poit are all apparently < (earlier than) English.

Please, fellow scholars, when you are charting and discussing “pot” note that sometimes pots carry food and other times they are for gold.
