Étymologie (Anglais)

In summary

From Middle High German stricken (“to tie, to knit”), from Old High German stricken (“to tie”), derived from the noun stric, whence modern Strick (“short rope for binding”). Compare Dutch strikken. Displaced Middle High German bretten (“to knit”). The obsolete sense “to tie” still underlies in compounds (see below).
