a signal for action; a stick used in billiards or pool
From French queue 'tail', from Latin cauda 'tail'
A cue literally means 'tail' in French - billiard cues got their name because they were originally the tail-end of the mace used to push balls! In theater, cues are the 'tail end' of one actor's line that signals another to speak.
