Depucilation, Depudication, Devirgination, Defloratio, Devirginatio, Virginis vitiatio, Virginitas deflorata, from deflorescere, [de, und florescere,] 'to shed flowers.' The act of depriving female of her virginity. Inspection of the parts is the chief criterion of defloration having been forcibly accomplished; yet inquiry must be made, whether the injury may not have been caused by another body than the male organ. Recent defloration is infinitely more easy of detection than where some time has elapsed.
