Virgin pursued, by the sound of it (6)
I believe the answer is:
chaste
'virgin' is the definition.
('chaste' can be similar in meaning to 'virgin')
'pursued by the sound of it' is the wordplay.
'pursued' becomes 'chased' ('chased' can be a synonym of 'pursued').
'by the sound of it' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'chased' is a homophone of 'CHASTE'.
(Other definitions for chaste that I've seen before include "pure and simple" , "Sexually virtuous" , "Pure - virtuous" , "Decorous" , "Everlasting" .)
