This could be a double definition.

'a snooker' is the first definition.

'rest?' is the second definition.
(rest is a kind of break)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for break that I've seen before include "Shatter; respite" , "Shatter; interval" , "Holiday; snap" , "interval between lessons" , "Time off working" .)
