In a figurative sense, if someone has la pêche, it does not mean they are eating fruit, but rather that they are full of energy and vitality.
There is a distinct difference between la pêche as the fruit and la pêche as fishing, but the verb for fishing, pêcher, is a near-homonym for pécher, which means 'to sin'.
The name of the fruit is actually a linguistic map of its history, tracing back to the Latin word 'persicum', which literally means 'from Persia'.
