使用する際の注意点

• Whereas this word’s biologic and figurative senses are properly understood as deriving from the prefix parthen- in its biologic-botanic sense (stressing an absence of fertilisation), the theologic sense can only be understood as employing the prefix in the original sense of “virgin”, since parthenogenetic offspring are always female.
