Etymology:
From tea (via Dutch thee, from Malay teh, from Min Nan Chinese te) + pot (Middle English, from Old English pott, of uncertain Germanic origin, attested before the 12th century). The vessel was named for its contents and its container, which is like naming a cathedral after the door and the air inside. The belly went unacknowledged. The belly was always the point.
