What if u get2know that word "virgin" was originally "virgyn" to mean potent woman and later changed to apply it to men

it was like never meant to mean a maiden , and to retaliate women demanded virgin males..

absurd ? alarmed?

Umm... no that's not what it meant. It's from the old french and meant unmarried or chaste girl.

Oh!.. so you are an expert in English.. and I can check with you for any big word...

So tell me what is this suffix 'ure' in words puncture, juncture, fixture, nature and so on...

Since you've offered zero support, arguments or evidence for your case, that's what your score is - zero.
-ure = yes, i know what it means but it's completely irrelevant. What's the point of defining it or any dialogue with you if you prefer your fertile imagination ('common sense' in your parlance) to etymology, history of language and accepted definitions?

hahahaah... so you escape by taking this route? .... and who made you an authority to evaluate and offer marks?

The evidence is right in the word itself.. that it was virgyn .. and more meaningful as a standalone word..

So you look for evidence and proof to even peel a banana ?
