chastityn.

/ˈtʃastɪti/

Forms: Middle English chastete, Middle English–1500s chastite, chastyte, Middle English–1600s chastitie, Middle English chastitee, chastiti, 1500s chastytye, 1500s– chastity.

Etymology: Middle English chastete , -etie , < Old French (13th cent.) chastete, < Latin castitāt-em under influence of the adjective chaste . The later spelling shows further assimilation to Latin; see -ity suffix. This was the second adaptation of the Latin word in Old French; at a much earlier date it had been taken in as *castetet, *castedet, which, under the regular operation of the phonetic laws, had passed through chastedet to chasteet, chasteé, and in Old Northern French to casteed, before it was anew adapted as chasteté.

The quality or state of being chaste.

a. Purity from unlawful sexual intercourse; continence.
