We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.

Yah, it means handsome or beautiful in French. Just as magician said, English takes from other languages and it is a word - which last time I checked was what scrabble is about :-P.

In English usage it refers to a male suitor or boyfriend. It's been in the dictionary since at least 1967.
