SNOOKER Meaning and Definition

1. Snooker is a cue sport that is played on a billiard table with six pockets. It originated in the late 19th century and is primarily popular in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries. The game is played using twenty-one colored balls, fifteen red balls worth one point each, and six balls of other colors that have different point values. The objective in snooker is to use a cue stick to pocket the balls in a specific sequence, starting with red balls and followed by colored ones, all while earning points.

   To begin a frame of snooker, one player must break the formation of red balls using the white cue ball. Players alternate turns, aiming to pocket any legally targeted balls. Additionally, after each successful pot, the player must alternate potting a red ball followed by a colored ball. The game continues until all the balls have been potted, after which the player with the highest score is declared the winner.

   Snooker is known for its strategic and tactical nature, where players must demonstrate precision, control, and deftness with the cue stick, as well as an ability to plan and think several steps ahead. The game requires exceptional skill, concentration, and finesse to master. Snooker tournaments, such as the World Snooker Championship, attract avid players and fans worldwide.

Etymology of SNOOKER

The word "snooker" is believed to have originated in the late 19th century in Britain. Its etymology is not entirely clear, but there are a few theories about its origins.

One theory suggests that the term "snooker" was derived from the slang term "snooker's nark", which referred to a person who was considered an experienced or knowledgeable individual. The word "snooker" may have evolved from this expression.

Another theory suggests that "snooker" may have come from the word "snook", which was a term used to describe a young inexperienced person. This usage could have been applied to novice players of the game.

It is also possible that "snooker" could have been influenced by the word "snook", which means to deceive or to place in a difficult situation.
