From Arabic harIm (literally "something forbidden") and haram (literally "a sanctuary")

In Turkey, Persia, and other areas of the Middle East, the harem was a section of a palace where the women of the palace lived. Contrary to popular belief, the harem was not a brothel; that's simply a Western viewpoint. The harem did house the wives (and sometimes concubines) of the Shah, but his female relatives also lived there.

Still, there are many cases where a group of females linked sexually to one male (or males linked to one female) is referred to as a harem.
Sure, the harem is associated with polygamous sexual relations, but not all of them are based on sex: a woman with a large group of gay male friends could refer to them as her "harem".

To quote someone who knows what they're talking about:
"From Arabic harIm (literally "something forbidden") and haram (literally "a sanctuary")"

Although its original meaning was the part of a household reserved for females - including perhaps a man's mother, sisters, and daughters, as well as wife or wives - it is commonly used to mean a group of more than one woman who are all available sexually to a single man. This situation is Polygyny ("multiple women.") Sometimes it also refers to a group of men who are available to a single woman. This situation is Polyandry ("multiple men.") Either may be called Polygamy ("multiple marriage.")

People who think it derives from Latin don't know what they're talking about, which is no great crime - no one knows everything. People who think it derives from Latin and say so on a public forum like this not only don't know that they don't know what they're talking about, but are displaying and perpetuating their ignorance.

What you say when you see a hot girl/guy who you'd "put in your harem" - implies superficial attraction but not wanting to go for long term.

Obviously a reference to the Arabic حرم 'ḥaram' 'forbidden place; sacrosanct, sanctum': a place where female members of a polygamous wealthy family would reside. And be fucked at the husband's leisure. Similar to a 'seraglio'.
