Best Answer

It means coming from the works of the Greek philosopher Plato. It is usually used in two expressions: "Platonic love" or "Platonic friendship" which means a loving or friendly relationship with no sexual aspect to it whatsoever, and "Platonic solid" which means a three-dimensional geometrical object entirely made up of identical regular plane surfaces.
