Virtuous - but sounds to have been pursued (6)
I believe the answer is:
chaste
'virtuous' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chaste that I've seen before include "Innocent" , "'Celibate, virginal (6)'" , "Sachet (anag)" , "Maidenly" , "pure and simple" .)
