Where this word comes from
From Middle High German stric, from Old High German stric, from Proto-West Germanic *strikk, possibly related to *strang (“severe, strict, strong”), but the appearance of the -kk- would be unexplained. Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *streyg- (“to stroke, shear”), similar to Latin stringo (“to draw tight”). Cognate with Dutch strik and Hunsrik Strick.
