Etymology

The word 'potted' originated from the noun 'pot,' which has Germanic roots, specifically from Middle English 'potte,' meaning a container. The usage of 'potted' to describe plants in containers became popularized in the horticultural practices of the 17th century. As gardening techniques evolved, the concept of potted plants grew, especially with the advent of indoor gardening and decorative container plants. The term has since expanded to incorporate various forms of planting in containers, including ornamental and practical applications.
