virgin
Sexually inexperienced person
A virgin is a person who has never had sexual intercourse.
The word extends to anything untouched or unused: virgin territory, virgin snow, virgin olive oil (from the first pressing).
The Virgin Mary is central to Christian theology, and the Virgin alone often refers to her.
Virgin can describe someone inexperienced in any activity: a political virgin. (Capitalized Virgin refers to the zodiac sign or the corporate brand.)
