peach

/piːt͡ʃ/

Ngoại động từ[C/U] Cả hai

Số nhiều: peaches

The fruit carries a sensory profile of sweetness and softness, which naturally extends to the figurative use of the word to describe a delightful person. This transition from physical taste to personality trait evokes a feeling of warmth, kindness, and accessibility. In contrast, the verb form is a linguistic outlier, rooted in old slang for betrayal. While the noun is overwhelmingly positive and associated with nature and beauty, the verb carries a heavy connotation of treachery and legal consequence, creating a sharp semantic divide between the word's different parts of speech.

Countable when referring to the individual fuzzy fruits in a bowl or a wonderful person. Uncountable when describing the specific pinkish-yellow color of paint or fabric.
