Where this word comes from
From Middle High German strëne, from Old High German strëno, from Proto-West Germanic *strenō, from Proto-Germanic *strinô (“strip, strand”), from Proto-Indo-European *ster- (“strip, line, streak”). Cognate with Dutch streen and probably English strand. The spelling -ä- indicates the Middle High German low/open -ë- (as sporadically in other words, e.g. Bär).
