In summary

From Middle High German streich, from Old High German *streih, from Proto-West Germanic *straik (“stroke”). Compare Dutch streek, English stroke. In Middle High German the form strīch also occurs, which is either an adaptation to, or a new derivation from, the underlying verb streichen. In Modern Standard German both forms would have merged, but most dialects continue West Germanic ai.
