Morphology

jampot = jam + pot (transparent) = jam + pot

The meaning is directly the combination of 'jam' + 'pot' — a pot used for jam — which is obvious to learners.

Etymology

Jampot comes from two simple words: jam ('sweet fruit spread') and pot ('small container'). So a jampot is simply a small pot or jar for holding jam.
