Yes, you're right. There's in spanish also the word "damisela", although none of the two are really widely used.

music for sure. just listen to the way they talk and if you don't know something, just ask. i'm sure you're friends would be glad to help, and i'm always here too as well as other members.

b. A virgin.).
But for somehow, we use "doncella" with the same meaning as "maiden" here (Argentina).. Well, it's even a word that isn't used often, but in poems or songs.
Actually "Mujer que no ha conocido varon" may just be an elaborate way of calling a woman a virgin. I believe the translation to that phrase is " A woman who has no knowledge of males (or a male)". Sounds like a really old fashioned phrase.

Hi! I really don't know the background in terms of origin and that sort of thing; but I would say that in the vast majority of cases it has a sexual connotation.
