The word shampoo came from Hindi roots.
Believe it or not, shampoo is an Anglo-Indian word that means "to massage." It dates back to 1762 and comes from a Hindi word, champo, which roughly means "knead the muscles" or "to press."

The first time it was used in regard to washing one's hair was in 1860.
