1. virginity (state or evidence of) — The state of virginity or the physical evidence thereof, used in legal and social contexts regarding a woman's sexual purity prior to marriage. All four clusters represent the same noun בְּתוּלִים (betulim) with different pronominal suffixes and grammatical constructions (absolute, construct with possessive suffixes 1cs, 3fs, 3fp). Arabic consistently uses بَكارة (bakārah, 'virginity'), Korean uses 처녀성 (cheonyeoseong, 'virginity'), Hindi uses कुंवारी/कुँवारी (kuṃvārī, 'virginity'), Swahili uses ubikira ('virginity'), and Spanish uses virginidad throughout. The pronominal variation (my virginity, her virginity, their virginity) does not constitute distinct senses. 10×
