Prompt party has something white on the table (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cueball

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'something white on the table' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'prompt party' is the wordplay.
'prompt' becomes 'cue' (cue can mean a prompt or signal).
'party' becomes 'ball' (ball is a kind of party).
'cue'+'ball'='CUEBALL'

'has' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for cueball that I've seen is " white?".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
