means A wealthy man who devotes himself to pleasure, leisure, and romantic conquest rather than work or settling down.

from A straightforward compound of 'play' and 'boy,' first used in the 19th century for idlers and pleasure-seekers. It stayed a mild, minor word until the 20th century, when it hardened into its modern image of tuxedos, nightclubs, and revolving girlfriends — a shift cemented by magazines and movies that glamorized the lifestyle rather than by any exotic word-root.
