A container or trap, often made of woven materials, used to catch, hold, or cook fish.
From Old English 'fisc' + 'pot' from Old English 'pott,' borrowed from Latin 'pottus.' The word originally referred to cooking vessels but expanded to include fishing traps.
Fishpots made from woven willow or rattan created an early form of passive fishing technology—you could set them and walk away, letting water currents do the work of trapping fish.
