词源

From pot + -ed. Adjective meaning "prepared in advance" by analogy with potted meat (canned meat), first used in a published work by L. Susan Stebbing in her Pelican classic Thinking to some purpose (1939), where "potted thinking" is defined as "a compressed statement to save us the trouble of thinking".
