Knock out with a snooker cue? (4)
I believe the answer is:
stun
This clue could be a double definition.
'knock out' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'snooker cue?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'with a' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stun that I've seen before include "'Shock, daze (4)'" , "Stagger, amaze" , "Take aback" , "Shock into silence" , "Knock unconscious" .)
