This could be a double definition.

'at snooker' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
I also know that 'snooker' relates to this answer.

'it means a rest for one's opponent' is the second definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

Can you help me to learn more?
