Etimoloxía (Inglés)

Herdado de Middle High German: strumpf

In summary

From Middle High German strumpf, from Proto-Germanic *strumpaz (“stem, stalk”). The semantic shift from "stalk, stump" to "leg clothing" came about as a result of a fashion development, where originally one-piece leg garments were separated into two parts, the trousers and the socks. The socks were interpreted as the "stump", i.e. the remainder of the leg garment. Related to stramm and strampeln.
