Morphology

fuck + boy

The parts 'fuck' (a coarse sexual act) and 'boy' (young/immature male) give a learner a general clue that this labels a male associated with casual sex, so some basic sense is derivable from the constituents. However, the specific pragmatic/pejorative sense—an often manipulative, non‑committal player, its slang register, and the extension to adult men—are culturally loaded and not fully predictable, so the expression is only partially transparent to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Fuck boy may come from music and online talk, where people put fuck (meaning 'to have sex') next to boy (an immature man). So the image is of a young man who only wants sex and does not care about feelings, which is why fuck boy means 'a man who seeks casual sex without commitment'.
