Hunted sound of the virtuous (6)
I believe the answer is:
chaste
'the virtuous' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'hunted sound' is the wordplay.
'hunted' becomes 'chased' (I've seen this before).
'sound' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'chased' is a homophone of 'CHASTE'.
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for chaste that I've seen before include "Restrained, modest" , "Pure - virtuous" , "Continent" , "She-cat could be virtuous" , "Modest and virtuous" .)
