feg

Where it comes from

From fig, with the change in spelling reflecting a Caribbean pronunciation.

noun fegs · fig

Caribbean, dialectal A piece, a clove (of segmented produce, especially oranges and garlic). I have many relations and friends who are West Indians. They always speak of the section of an orange as a "fig," and of tearing an orange into its different pieces as "figging an orange." This does not apply to a division by knife.
