[ˈstriːks]

Etimologia (Inglese)

Borrowed from Ancient Greek στρίξ (stríx, “screecher”), which also gave strī̆ga (“evil spirit, nightmare; vampire; witch”), itself likely of onomatopoeic origin and related to Latin strīdō (“to screech”).
Compare typologically Russian карга́ (kargá), also considered borrowed, akin to Turkish karga.
