poach
vPicture a pot of water that is but not yet boiling. The food slides in bare — no shell, no pan, no hot oil — and the quiet heat closes around it on every side, like a soft bag being drawn shut. Nothing is knocking the food about, so it keeps its shape and stays tender. That is the whole picture behind this side of poach: cooking by being wrapped in gentle heat rather than beaten by it.
From the word’s history
Middle English pochen, from Old French pocher, from poche meaning pocket — the egg white closing around the yolk was seen as a little bag made for it.
這一支來自中古英文 pochen，再往前是古法文 pocher，源頭是 poche「口袋」。當時的說法是：蛋白在熱水裡把蛋黃裹起來，就像替它做了一個小口袋。今天煮魚、煮水果也還是同一個畫面——熱湯汁把食材包住。

A second word, same spelling
poach
vPicture a foot pressing down on ground that is not yours. There is a line across the field that nobody can see, and you have over it and lifted what was lying on the other side — a deer, a fish, a person, an idea, an easy goal. The thing you carry off changes from use to use; what never changes is that the ground it came from had somebody else's name on it.
From the word’s history
From Old French pocher, pochier meaning to trample or push into; a doublet of poke. The oldest picture is feet pressing into ground.
這一支來自古法文 pocher／pochier，意思是「踩踏、戳進去」，跟英文 poke 同源。最早的畫面就是腳壓進地面。後來的用法都從這裡走出去：踩進別人的地界拿東西，或者真的把地踩爛。
