It's French for 'touched' and originates from fencing/sword fighting when you score a hit on your opponent he says 'touche' It has come to mean acknowledgement of any situation where someone scores a point in an argument or similar.

it means touch in French, and comes from fencing, it's a way of acknowledging a hit, like 'you got me!' people use it nowadays to mean something like 'good point.' When someone makes a sound argument in disagreement with what the first person has said.

Touché is a French term (literally, touched) that is used in fencing to acknowledge the receipt of a valid hit. The person who gets touched calls out "touché".

it means to become even with someone in a battle or argument.
as in if one person is arguing with another and one person insults the other, the other returns a response equally as insulting as the first. the first insulted would say touche my friend.
