Ancient Greek[edit]
Etymology[edit]
The formation is similar to στρίγξ (strínx) and λύγξ (lúnx). Cognates are often assumed in Latin stringō (“to tie together”), Latvian stringt (“to become stiff”) and Proto-Germanic *strangiz (“string”). However, according to Beekes, it is not improbable that the word is Pre-Greek.
