Definition
A person who plays billiards skillfully or professionally; an expert at the game of billiards.
Etymology
From 'billiard' (the cue ball game, from French 'bille' meaning ball) plus the suffix '-ist' (one who practices or specializes in). This occupational term emerged with the sport's popularity.
Kelly Says
Professional billiardists have to understand physics and geometry incredibly well—they calculate angles, spin, and speed to make shots that seem impossible to regular players.
