Etymology
From Middle High German strāze, from Old High German strāza, from Proto-West Germanic *strātu (“street”), from Latin (via) strata. The sense “strait” is a calque of Middle Low German strâte, itself a phono-semantic matching of Middle English streit, from Old French estreit (“narrow”), from unrelated Latin strictus.
