176: lothario Jun 2, 2015

A 'lothario' is defined as "a man who behaves selfishly and irresponsibly in his sexual relationships with women". This word is rather new–as etymologies go–only 312 years old. How can you be so exact‽ you might ask. This word comes from the name of a character in Rowe's, Fair Penitent, a play from 1703.
