a backyard kingdom built for kids and ruled by squirrels by Tuesday.
means A set of outdoor play equipment for children—typically combining a swing, slide, climbing frame, and sometimes a fort or sandbox—or, in another sense, a coordinated collection of toys sold together for imaginative play.
from A transparent compound of "play" + "set," both old workhorses of English. "Play" descends from Old English "plega" (brisk movement, exercise, sport), while "set" comes from Old English "settan" (to cause to sit, to place). The marriage is modern: "playset" is a 20th-century coinage from the toy and recreation industries, where "set" had long meant a matched group sold as one (a chess set, a tea set), and the word naturally stretched to cover both boxed toy assortments and the larger backyard structures.
