Etymology

The word 'billiard' comes from the French word 'billiard', which means 'to strike the ball'. Its roots can be traced back to the 15th century when it was first played in France. The games evolved from lawn games, and the first billiard tables were made in Italy. As billiards spread throughout Europe, different styles and rules emerged, leading to the development of various cue sports, including pool and snooker. The term 'billiards' originally referred specifically to the game played on a pocketless table, while today it encompasses a wide range of games played with balls and cue sticks.
