a peach that shaved, doubled down, and somehow won the bet.
means A smooth-skinned variety of peach, differing from the fuzzy kind by a single recessive gene that strips away the fuzz.
from From 'nectar,' the drink of the Greek gods — itself from 'nektar,' possibly meaning 'overcoming death.' The fruit borrowed the word in the 1600s as 'nectarine,' an adjective meaning 'sweet as nectar,' before it settled into a noun. So the name is a flattering review that stuck to the fruit.
