Middle English peche English peach From Middle English peche, borrowed from Old French pesche (French pêche), Vulgar Latin *pessica (cf. Medieval Latin pesca) from Late Latin persica, from Classical Latin mālum persicum, from Ancient Greek μᾶλον περσικόν (mâlon persikón, “Persian apple”). Displaced Middle English persogȝe, from Old English persoc, ultimately from the same Latin root above.
* As an English surname, from French péché (“sin”). Compare Peachey, Petch. * As a German surname, Americanized from Pietsch.
From Middle English pechen, from apechen (“to accuse”) and empechen (“to accuse”), possibly from Anglo-Norman anpecher, from Late Latin impedicō (“entangle”). See impeach.
