'lothario' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a short month in spanish house' is the wordplay.
'short month' becomes 'nov' (Nov is an example. I am not sure about the 'short' bit.).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'spanish house' becomes 'casa' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'nov'='anov'
'anov' placed into 'casa' is 'CASANOVA'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
