massage and bodywork professionals

a community of practitioners

I need help with a project.

 

Does anyone know where the term bodywork originated and when it was first used?

 

Pls provide proper documentation when possible as your response may be used in a scholarly publication. 

 

And yes, I'm a closet wordsmith.

Thanks Jenny,

You are on the ball!!!

I wonder about the 1908 pub date. Maybe it was the date of first edition.

Can you find out what edition of the Merriam-Webster Unabridged Collegiate dictionary this definition came from?

The edition # would help with citing the reference.

Let me know if you find out more about the word origin.
