Thanks for those!

I had considered "emure" but could not find it in the official Shakespeare concordance, so discounted it.

Cheers,

chaste = demure. minus the d for daughter becomes emure. Emure comes from the french emurrer which means to imprison or wall up. Emure occurs in Shakespeare's The Lover's Complaint.
