deflowered
Lost their innocence
Deflowered means having lost one's virginity, traditionally said of a woman.
The image is of plucking a flower—taking something delicate and irreplaceable.
The word sounds old-fashioned and carries connotations of violation or corruption: He deflowered her and abandoned her.
It appears most often in historical or literary contexts.
