a virgin
A young woman of marriageable age who has not engaged in sexual relations; often translated as 'virgin', but may, in context, refer to a young, unmarried woman whose sexual experience is presumed but not always explicitly stated. The word is used both for individual females (emphasizing purity or eligibility for marriage) and metaphorically for cities or nations depicted as young, unviolated women.
