'potter's' originates from Old English, specifically the word 'pottere,' where 'pot' meant 'a container' and '-er' indicated 'one who makes or deals with.'

'pottere' transformed into the Middle English word 'potter,' and eventually became the modern English word 'potter's' to denote possession or association with a potter.

Initially, it meant 'a maker of pots,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a place associated with pottery.'
