Morphology
The meaning 'a man who manages publicity' is directly and compositionally derived from PR (public relations) + man; it follows the common agent‑noun pattern where a role or field plus 'man' denotes a person who works in that area. This is a productive, predictable formation and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
PR man comes from the letters PR, short for 'public relations', and the older use of man to mean a person who does a job; companies and politicians hired someone to speak to the 'press' and shape stories. So, a PR man is a person paid to manage an organization's public image.
