peach
word
Definition
A peach is a soft, round fruit with sweet, juicy flesh and fuzzy skin. It can also describe a pinkish-orange color or, informally, a very pleasant or attractive person or thing.
Usage & Nuances
The fruit meaning is the main one. In English, usage varies by region: Americans often say 'peach', while Spanish translations may be 'durazno' or 'melocotón' depending on country. Informally, 'a peach' sounds warm and a little old-fashioned: 'She was a real peach.' Common phrases include 'peach juice', 'peach tree', and 'peach-colored'.
