Snooker is a table game of potting coloured balls in strict order. Play snooker, a frame of snooker, the snooker table.
A red then a colour, over and over, is the whole discipline of it, and the table is far larger than a pool table. To snooker somebody is to leave them unable to hit the ball they need, and the word has passed into general use for stuck.
