Pot 'em all over the place in time (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tempo

'time' is the definition.
(tempo is a kind of time)

'pot 'em all over the place' is the wordplay.
'all over the place' indicates an anagram.
'pot'+'em'='potem'
'potem' is an anagram of 'TEMPO'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for tempo that I've seen before include "Time (music)" , "Speed or beat, musically" , "Rhythm, metre" , "Speed at which piece of music is played" , "Rate and rhythm in music" .)
