billiards  

Définition

  • The term billiards is believed to have derived from the French word billart, meaning “mace,” which was used in the 15th and 16th centuries as a striking implement in lawn games such as troco and croquet. It is generally thought that the indoor game of billiards evolved from these outdoor games. [Source: Encyclopedia of Play in Today's Society; Billiards]
