unicorn

Mythical spiral-horned steed

A unicorn is a mythical horse-like creature with a single spiral horn projecting from its forehead.

In legend, unicorns symbolize purity and grace, supposedly tameable only by virgins.

In business slang, a unicorn is a privately held startup valued at over one billion dollars—rare enough to seem mythical: They're hoping to become the next unicorn.

In dating contexts, a unicorn is a bisexual woman willing to join an existing couple—considered equally elusive.
