Etymology
Teapot is a simple compound of tea + pot, meaning a 'pot' for 'tea'. The short word tea came into English from Asian words like 'te' or 'teh', and pot is the everyday word for a cooking or pouring 'container', so a teapot is the container with a spout, handle, and lid used to make and serve tea.
