Etymology: "Firepots" is the plural of "firepot", a compound formed from "fire" and "pot". The word is transparent in its construction: a pot in which something burns. The "pot" element comes from Old English "pott", a vessel for cooking or holding things, and "fire" is the ordinary Germanic word for the phenomenon itself, so the compound describes exactly what the object is.
