Virgin

A virgin is most commonly seen as a person who has not engaged in sexual intercourse. Typically, it refers strictly to a person who has not yet engaged in vaginal intercourse. In broader terms, it sometimes refers to one who has not engaged in sexual activities. The status of "virginity" is sometimes respected and valued in certain societies, especially in relation to views of many religions on sexual conduct before marriage. The term maiden is also sometimes used to mean a female virgin, although that can also refer to an unmarried or merely young woman. It has also (generally historically) been used to refer to a male virgin.

It could also mean something that has never been tried or explored before, as a 'virgin' territory. For example, a continent that was not explored before, would be an example of virgin territory.

It also refers to a state of purity or innocence. For example, virgin olive oil, would mean olive oil in its most purest state and authentic composition.
