Depucelate

Meaning: Cotgrave:
deflowre, take the maidenhead of, depriue of her maidenhead.
Usefulness: 1 (Useful as a fancy version of popping the cherry, used symbolically of so many things.)

Logofascination: 1 (From the French pucelle, meaning young girl or maid, Sir Thomas translates this as the un-maidening. Compare depudicate, which is from a different Latin root entirely and is, etymologically, the de-chasteing.)
