Etymology
The term 'peaching' is believed to be derived from the word 'peach,' which in this context means to inform on someone, often in a negative connotation. The use of 'peach' in this manner dates back to the early 19th century and is thought to be American slang. The origin is often related to the idea of being soft or yielding, as in 'peachy,' which derives from the fruit known for its soft texture. Over time, the term evolved to represent the act of betraying trust or loyalty by revealing someone’s secrets. The colloquial usage of 'peaching' has solidified its association with gossiping or informing, often in contexts where the informer stands to gain something at the expense of another person. Its persistence in modern vernacular highlights the continued relevance of trust and loyalty among peers.
