Etymology
Romanian borrowed "masaj" from French "massage" during the 19th and early 20th centuries, part of a large wave of French vocabulary that entered Romanian as the language modernized. French "massage" comes from the verb "masser", whose own origin is debated among etymologists, with proposals pointing to Arabic "massa" (to touch, to feel) or Greek "massein" (to knead). Because that root is disputed, no firm deeper origin is given here.
