womaniser

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

'lothario perhaps?' is the definition.
(lothario is a kind of womaniser)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for womaniser that I've seen before include "Lady-killer" , "Playboy" , "Man amorously pursuing females" , "Ladies' man" , "Wolf" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
