It's a Native American word for baby, I think. So I guess you'd say that it's from the United States. However, in the medical field, you can "papoose" a child... where it's like putting on a straitjacket. You'd do this to administer medications to a combative or uncoopertive child.

Both the word papoose and the performer Papoose are from U.S.A.

Native Americans call their babies papooses. That is what I was taught in school, anyway. Webster says, "Native North American boy or girl."
