stopover

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'break pots?' is the definition.
'stopover' can be an answer for 'break'. I'm not certain of the 'pots?' bit.

'break pots?' is the wordplay.
'break' becomes 'stop' ('stop' can be a synonym of 'break').
'pots?' becomes 'over' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'stop'+'over'='STOPOVER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stopover that I've seen before include "bed and breakfast?" , "that hotel can provide?" , "Stay (of just one night?)" , "Overnight stay" , "Break in a journey" .)
