Dictionary.com:
What does chaste mean?
Chaste is most commonly used to describe someone
who refrains from sexual activity that’s considered immoral,
especially according to the teachings of a certain religion.
The state orquality of being chaste is chastity.
The word chaste can also be used
to describe someone who refrains from all sexual activity
—someone who is celibate.
When members of certain religions take a vow of chastity,
this is usually what it means.
Chaste can also be used in a more general way
to mean morally pure.
Example:
When I went to Catholic high school,
my religion teachers always emphasized the virtue of being chaste.
Where does chaste come from?
The first records of the word chaste come from around 1200.
It comes from the Latin castus, meaning“pure.”
The word caste comes from the same root.
Whether someone is considered morally pure or chaste
heavily depends oncultural and religious norms,
and the idea of chastity may differ from one religion to another
or one person to another.
In Christianity, the word chaste is typically used to describe
those who avoid sexual activity outside of marriage
or sexual activity without the goal of reproduction.
Describing someone as unchaste is a moral judgment,
and the person may take offense to this,
especially if they don’t believe in the same set of morals.
In many religions, the promotion of chastity
has traditionally been directed more toward women,
leading some people to criticize such lessons as sexist or oppressive.

Common Errors in English Usage Dictionary
celibate & chaste
Believe it or not,
you can be celibate without being chaste,
and chaste without being celibate.
A celibate person is merely unmarried,
usually (but not always) because of a vow of celibacy.
The traditional assumption is that
such a person is not having sex with anyone,
which leads many to confuse the word with “chaste,”
denoting someone who does not have illicit sex.
A woman could have wild sex twice a day with her lawful husband
and technically still be chaste,
though the word is more often used to imply
a general abstemiousnessfrom sex and sexuality.
You can always amuse your readers
by misspelling the latter word as “chased.”
