Actually, Etymologically speaking, the word "massage" in English comes from a long line of derivatives as follows: the French word "massage" which means "the friction of kneading," which comes from the Arabic word "massa" which means "to touch, feel or handle," which comes from the Latin word "massa" which means "mass or dough."
