A "kettle" is a vessel for boiling water, often with a handle and spout. In British English, "kettle" can also mean a cooking pot, while American English uses "teakettle" for boiling water. The phrase "a different kettle of fish" signifies a distinctly different matter.
The word "kettle" refers to a container used for boiling water or for cooking, with variations like "teakettle" in American English and "pan" in British English for the cooking pot usage. It can also be used idiomatically as "a different kettle of fish" to mean something entirely different.
