Etymology

Given the existence of parallel formations in Ancient Greek στρῶμα (strôma) and Latin strāmen (“litter (straw for bedding)”), it may derive from Proto-Indo-Aryan *stárHma, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *stárHma, from Proto-Indo-European *stérh₃mn̥ (“that which is strewn; bedding”). However, the EIEC suggests that these formations may be independent, but parallel innovations.^[1]^[2]
