wiktionary
American English, from Shanghai, with reference to the former practice of forcibly crewing ships heading for the Orient. [1]
From Scottish shangan, from Scottish Gaelic seangan, influenced by the Chinese city. [2]
etymonline
shanghai (v.)
"to drug a man unconscious and ship him as a sailor," 1854, American English, from the practice of kidnapping to fill the crews of ships making extended voyages, such as to the Chinese seaport of Shanghai.
Shanghai
Chinese seaport, literally "by the sea," from Shang "on, above" + hai "sea." In 19c., a long-legged breed of hens, supposed to have come from there; hence U.S. slang senses relating to long, tall persons or things.
