The word "peach" traces back to Latin persicum ("Persian apple"), reflecting its ancient cultivation in Persia before spreading to Europe. It entered Old English as perse via Late Latin persica, later evolving into Middle English peche under French influence. The modern spelling solidified by the 16th century. Notably, the fruit’s association with Persia (modern Iran) persists in its scientific name Prunus persica.
