Etymology

From Proto-Italic *stringō, from a merger of Proto-Indo-European *strengʰ- (“to draw, twist, tie”) (for the "tie, tighten" meanings) and Proto-Indo-European *streyg- (“to stroke, to shear, stiff”) (for the "strip off, prune" meanings). Cognate with strix, striga, strigōsus, stria, strigilis, strigmentum, English streak.
