Etymology: "Shampooers" is simply the plural of "shampooer," which means a person who washes hair. The noun is built from "shampoo," borrowed from the Hindi "cā̃po," the imperative of "cā̃pnā," meaning to press, knead or massage, and the English word first described the pressing and kneading of the body in a bath before it came to mean washing hair. The suffix "-er," meaning someone who performs an action, was added to that English verb-noun to produce the agent.
