Peel can have multiple meanings and it strongly depends on the context in which it is used.
1. Fruit or vegetable peel: This refers to the outer protective layer in fruits and vegetables. It can be thick as in oranges and bananas, or thin as in apples and grapes. It is often removed before eating, but in many cases — such as with apples and potatoes — the peel is left on when consumed due to its nutritional content.
2. Skin peel: In the context of beauty and wellness, a peel could mean a chemical peel, a technique used to improve and smooth the texture of the skin. It involves applying a chemical solution to remove the damaged outer layers of the skin.
3. Peel (Noun): It can also refer to a flat, shovel-like tool used by bakers to slide loaves of bread, pizzas, and other baked goods into and out of an oven.
4. Peel (Verb): As a verb, peel can mean to remove or strip away the outer covering or skin of a fruit, vegetable, or any other object. It could also mean to separate or withdraw from a group or formation typically in a slow or gradual manner. For example, "The cyclists started to peel away from each other during the difficult uphill climb."
5. Robert Peel: It can be a reference to Sir Robert Peel, a British statesman and member of the Conservative Party who served twice as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
6. Peel region: Peel could also be used to refer to the Regional Municipality of Peel, a regional municipality in Southern Ontario, Canada.
