means A space where products are displayed attractively so customers can see and experience them before buying.

from A straightforward 19th-century compound of 'show' plus 'room' — literally a room built for showing goods. It emerged alongside the rise of department stores and manufacturers who wanted a dedicated space to display wares (furniture, carriages, later cars) rather than crowd them into a cluttered shop. No hidden story here — the name describes exactly what it does.
