Definition
Describes someone who has never had sexual experience (like a virgin), or something that is pure, innocent, or untouched.
Usage & Nuances
Usually formal or literary. 'Virginal' can describe people (rarely used in modern speech), landscapes, or things that seem pure or untouched ('virginal snow'). Not common in casual conversation. Do not confuse with 'virgin' (noun/adjective); 'virginal' sounds more poetic or symbolic.
