masseuse

word

Definition

A masseuse is a woman who is trained to give massages professionally.

Usage & Nuances

'Masseuse' is specifically for women; 'masseur' is male. The term can sound old-fashioned or have unwanted connotations in some contexts, so "massage therapist" is often preferred in modern, professional environments.
