vira- related to  a virus
 
viraginity - the extent to  which has been exposed to a certain virus
 
"He is virgin to this virus, he has never come in contact with it--when it comes to this virus, he still has his viraginity."

Hmmm Sylvie:
You mean Viragos as in this 



Yamaha VIRAGO  ?????

then "viraginity" means something like "the quality of looking like/behaving like the said motorbike"!

I agree with  Sylvie, (although i don �t like agreeing with herLOL) . It comes from "virago": a woman with a very bad temper, very bossy , grumpy because she has spent her life trying to get rid of her virginity and has never managed to ! So she is in a prolonged state of virginity but being too old the term which applies to her case is � viraginity �! Here you are!Prisoner

my guess : behaving as a "virago" ( the same word in French ) means behaving with manlike manners. ( ex : telling rude  and cheeky jokes , eating with one �s mouth full  , drinking too much............does any male member  recognize himself in the latter description ? Wink

I �ll have a box, please.Big smile
( I think Frank �s virago is rebarbative, might be steatopygic, but not clithridiate or setulous - surely!Dead)
