Annotations
editEtymology: from F massage "friction of kneading", from masser "to massage", possibly from Ar massa "to touch, feel, handle"; if so, probably picked up in Egypt during the Napoleonic campaign there. Other possibility is that F got it in colonial India from Port amassar "knead", a verb from L massa "mass, dough".
The verb is attested from 1887.
Masseur, fem. masseuse, both dating to 1876, are from Fr. masser. Massage parlor first attested 1913, from the start a euphemism for "house of prostitution".
