Origin and Evolution of peach fuzz

First Known Use: 1896 year

Language of Origin: English

Story behind the word: The term 'peach fuzz' is believed to have originated from the soft, velvety texture of a peach's skin, likening it to the fine hair that grows on a person's face during adolescence.

Evolution of the word: Initially used to describe the light, soft hair that grows on a person's face, particularly young males, 'peach fuzz' has evolved to also refer to any fine, light-colored hair on the body, not limited to just the face.
