Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Possibly borrowed from a paleo-Balkan substrate (per Miklošič, perhaps via Romanian), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *strengʰ- (“taut, stiff, tight”). From the same source are hypothesized to descend also Romanian strungă (“runway, strait”) (whence Ukrainian стру́нґа (strúnga), стру́нка (strúnka), Hungarian esztrenga), Albanian shtrungë (“runway within sty”). Further cognate with Latvian strùoga (“forest path”).
