⌂Word origin and word building

Word origin, asked often: shampoo comes from the Hindi word chhaampo or champo (press or massage), brought to Britain by Sake Dean Mahomed, who opened a 'shampooing' bath house in Brighton in the early 1800s.

शब्द-उत्पत्ति अक्सर पूछी जाती है: shampoo हिंदी शब्द 'चाँपो' या 'चम्पो' (दबाना या मालिश करना) से आया है, जिसे Sake Dean Mahomed ब्रिटेन ले गए, जिन्होंने 1800 के दशक की शुरुआत में Brighton में 'shampooing' स्नानघर खोला।
