Potential energy is called stored energy because it with build and hold in many types of energy an then it with use is all.

When energy is stored, we call it potential energy. This type of energy is stored in an object due to its position or state, and can be converted into kinetic energy when the object moves or changes.
I don't believe there is a special word for stored energy, I would just call it that, "stored energy". Energy of position is called potential energy. For example, if you lift a weight against the force of gravitation, the energy you transfer to the object is stored as gravitational potential energy. At a higher position, it has more of this energy than when it is at a low position.
Potential energy is stored in a wound-up spring. As the spring is compressed or stretched, it gains potential energy due to the elastic potential energy stored in its tight coils. When released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the spring unravels or contracts.
Stored energy that is ready to be used is typically called potential energy. This energy is stored in an object due to its position or state, and can be converted to kinetic energy when the object is in motion.
If you refer to gravitational potential energy, you may call it "gravitational energy". However, potential energy may refer to a variety of energy types, including chemical and nuclear energy. You might informally call it "energy of position", but that is not very accurate.
Intuitively, the term for this kind of potential energy is bond (or bonding) energy.
The energy stored in chemical fuels such as petrol is called chemical potential energy. This energy is released when the fuel undergoes a chemical reaction, such as combustion, which can be harnessed to do work.
Stored energy is typically referred to when energy is accumulated or stored in a form that can be used at a later time. This can include energy stored in batteries, capacitors, or chemical bonds. Stored energy can be converted into useful work when needed.
Potential energy & Chemical energy.
For materials such as rubber I would call it elastic energy. For compressed gases I would just call it mechanical energy-the compressed gas exerts a force which would move a piston against another force, and that constitutes work.
