Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term is a compound formed from 'back', derived from Old English 'bæc', and 'massage', which entered English in the 19th century from French, ultimately tracing its roots to Arabic 'massah' (to touch or stroke) or Greek 'massein' (to knead).
