Celibate

To be celibate means to be unmarried or to abstain from sex. Some people promise to remain celibate, in this case they promise never to marry and never to have sexual relations with anyone.

This word is mostly used for the promise never to marry that Catholic priests and monks or nuns give. The state of being celibate is known as celibacy.
