No longer virginal, but not pursued, we hear (8)
I believe the answer is:
unchaste
'no longer virginal but' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'not pursued we hear' is the wordplay.
'not' becomes 'un' (prefix meaning 'not').
'pursued' becomes 'chased' (chasing is a kind of pursuing).
'we hear' shows a homophone (sound like).
'chased' is a homophone of 'chaste'.
'un'+'chaste'='UNCHASTE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unchaste that I've seen before include "libertine" , "Not decent and virtuous" , "Sexually immodest" , "loose" , "very naughty" .)
