deflower
Ravish for first
To deflower someone is to take their virginity—the word carries an old-fashioned, literary quality that treats virginity as something precious that can be lost or taken.
The flower metaphor suggests plucking or spoiling something in bloom.
More broadly, deflower can mean to strip something of its beauty or freshness: The vandals deflowered the garden.
