## Where the word _peach_ came from

The word _peach_ comes from the Middle English _peche_, from Middle French, in turn from Latin _persica_, i.e., _the fruit from Persia_. In fact, the origin of the peach fruit was from China.

## Meaning of peach

- The color peach represents immortality in Chinese civilization because _the peach tree of immortality_, long thought to be on a mountainside somewhere in the Tian Shan mountains in western China, is a key concept in the mythology of the Taoist religion.  (The color amaranth represents immortality in Western civilization.)

- In Art Deco design of the 1920s and 1930s, peach-colored mirrors (as well as blue mirrors) were often seen installed in exclusive luxury homes, and upper-class nightclubs and hotels.
