单词 pot gallery
释义

pot galleryn.

Forms: see pot n.1 and gallery n.
Origin: Apparently formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: pot n.1, gallery n.
Etymology: Apparently < pot n.1 + gallery n.
Obsolete.
Perhaps: a covered gallery or balcony extending out into a river (esp. the Thames) from the bank.The actual nature and purpose of a ‘pot gallery’ has not been ascertained; the recorded dimensions of some ‘pot galleries’, as recorded in the quotations, make it unlikely that (as has been suggested: see Notes & Queries (1907) 31 Aug. 172) the term refers to the outside gallery or balcony of a pothouse overhanging the river.
