>>3700288It comes from the greek, and just means love of boys. In modern English it's meaning is ambiguous and can be used to refer to just the attraction, or the action. This is also true of pedophilia.
Also it can technically be used to define attraction between men, even if both are adults. But this is archaic and no longer commonly in use. Similarly in French pédéraste is the general term for homosexuals regardless of age.
