A person who frequents public entertainments like theaters or concerts; one who enjoys leisure activities.
Archaic or dialectal variant derived from 'folly' (entertainment or amusement) plus '-er' (one who does). Related to Old French 'folie' meaning amusement rather than foolishness.
In medieval England, 'folly' didn't necessarily mean foolishness—it often just meant entertainment or merriment, so a 'follyer' was actually someone having a good time, not someone being stupid.
