The amount of energy per unit charge required to to move a chrged particle from infinity to a given point is called the potential at that point.
The work done per unit charge in moving a charged particle form a pont A to a point B is called the potential diffrence between that points.

Its easy.
Its the amount of work done to move a unit charge by some distance A to B.
Think of potential difference as the amount of petrol(potential difference) needed to move the car(current)
