Morphology
The meaning 'a man who habitually pursues women' is directly derivable from combining 'skirt' (used metonymically for 'woman') with 'chaser' (a pursuer). Although 'skirt' as a term for women is colloquial and potentially offensive, the compositional logic is straightforward and predictable to learners who know the constituent senses.
Etymology
Skirt chaser likely comes from a simple picture of a man running after a woman's skirt. Because skirt was used to mean 'woman' and chaser means someone who pursues, the phrase now means 'a man who habitually pursues women'.
