Borrowed from French masser, probably from Arabic مَسَّ (massa, “to touch”), or from Portuguese amassar. The Arabic verb was, in French, associated with and perhaps reinforced by unrelated Ancient Greek μάσσειν (mássein, “to knead”), but direct derivation from this latter is now considered unlikely.
