A photo shop is what you used to take your film or pictures to to be enlarged or touched up. This process became known as photo-shopping and the software was named after this. This is according to my artist grandma who died recently and my graphic design professor years ago.
Your grandma and professor were wrong. Try to find a source that uses the term photoshop before 1992. You won't, because it doesn't exist.
It's okay to be wrong sometimes.
