Puella, I don't take what you have said in your post as a validation that I was incorrect in my opening one, infact it helps to prove it, thank you. 'Virgin' as 'young girl' or 'young women' is a 'puella' by a different name... that being that very real time in a young girl's life where she was neither under her father's control, nor a husbands ... she had the freedom of her growing years, the desires and hormones to explore her sex, her burgeoning womenhood, how to use it, how to beguile, how to exact her feminine charms...the actual sex act ...was neither here nor there ....and 'virgin' did not become synonymous with the actually act of penetration until some time well after the first ever record of it's origins ... ... so I stand by what I said in my opening post ... the 'virgin' was a woman/girl who was not under a man's control, and yes, even her father's ... virgo intacta or not ... engagement and marriage is what made her lose her 'virgin' status...not the breaking of her hymen ... & LaM, you're dictionary definition confirms it ... 1. A girl of marriageable age. Pehaps, Puella, the puella came to be the girl who wasn't a 'virgin' but also was yet to 'marry' ? A 'young maiden' ...which would befit her unwedded status. Hope you all have got your thinking caps on ... Food for thought... is good for the belly.
