English

Apparently from slang sugar (“money”) and colloquial daddy (“father”).

sugar daddy (plural sugar daddies)

(slang) A man who spends money for the benefit of a relationship with an often younger romantic or sexual partner.
- 2002, Charles Hebbert, Dan Richardson, The Rough Guide to Budapest, 2nd edition, London: Rough Guides, →ISBN, page 73:
  During the 1980s, its vivid streetlife became a symbol of the “consumer socialism” that distinguished Hungary from other Eastern Bloc states, but Budapesters today are rather less enamoured of Váci: dressed-to-kill babes and their sugar daddies would rather pose in malls, and teenagers can find McDonald's anywhere, leaving Váci utterly dependent on tourists for its livelihood and bustle.

This term typically implies that there is a romantic relationship between the two.
