peach

Soft stone fruit

A peach is a soft, round fruit with fuzzy skin, sweet flesh, and a large pit.

The color peach—a pale pinkish-orange—takes its name from the fruit.

Informally, a peach is someone or something wonderful: She's a real peach.

To peach on someone is to inform against them, though this use is dated: He peached on his accomplices.
