公元1200年左右, chastete,指的是教会定义的“性纯洁”,包括但不限于贞洁或独身,源自古法语 chastete “贞洁,纯洁”(12世纪,现代法语 chasteté),源自拉丁语 castitatem(主格 castitas)“纯洁,贞洁”,源自 castus “切断,分离; 纯洁”(参见 caste)。Chastity-belt源自1894年, (belt of chastity 源自1878年)。
Chastity is merely a social law created to encourage the alliances that most promote the permanent welfare of the race, and to maintain woman in a social position which it is thought advisable she should hold. [Saturday Review, Aug. 10, 1867, quoted in Lecky, "History of European Morals," 1869]
贞洁只是一种社会法律,旨在鼓励最有利于种族永久福祉的联姻,并维持女性在社会中的地位,这被认为是明智的。[《星期六评论》,1867年8月10日,引自莱基《欧洲道德史》,1869年]
Middle English chastete, chastite, borrowed from Anglo-French casthetet, chasteté, borrowed from Latin castitāt-, castitās, from castus "free from, free from vice, chaste" + -itāt-, -itās
The first known use of chastity was in the 13th century
