strip[strip 词源字典]

strip: Strip ‘narrow piece’ [15] and strip ‘remove covering’ [13] are distinct words. The former was perhaps borrowed from Middle Low German strippe ‘strap’, and may be related to English stripe [17], an acquisition from Middle Dutch strīfe. A stripling [13] is etymologically someone who is as thin as a ‘strip’. Strip ‘unclothe’ goes back to a prehistoric Germanic *straupjan, which also produced German streifen and Dutch stroopen. There was once a third English word strip, meaning ‘move quickly’, but it now survives only in the derived outstrip [16]; its origins are uncertain.
