A synonym for pure and, a synonym of hunted sound alike. In other words, they are homophones. Find them.

One which is pure (virginal) is chaste.
A creature hunted is chased.

Pronouncing both correctly they are not the same sound but to the casual ear, and the somewhat careless speaker, they come out close enough to be considered alike.
