massage parlor的词源

英文词源

hothouse (n.): mid-15c., "bath house," from hot + house (n.). In 17c. a euphemism for "brothel" (similar to massage parlor); the meaning "glass-roofed structure for raising plants" is from 1749. Figurative use by 1802.
massage (n.): 1874, from French massage "friction of kneading," from masser "to massage," possibly from Arabic massa "to touch, feel, handle;" if so, probably picked up in Egypt during the Napoleonic campaign there. Other possibility is that French got it in colonial India from Portuguese amassar "knead," a verb from Latin massa "mass, dough" (see mass (n.1)). Massage parlor first attested 1894, from the start a euphemism for "house of prostitution."

massage,按摩，parlor,店。即按摩店，用于委婉语妓院。
