[AMBER] "force field" vs. "potential"

Hey,

for the short time I am dealing with MD, I am wondering why the term
"force field" was established and is so much more common than
"potential". In my eyes, we are dealing with parameters for potential
functions. Would it be weird or even wrong to use the term "Amber 99 SB
potential" in a publication?

Thanks for clarification,

Jan-Philip
