Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From not independently attested *strybъ (but cf. Ukrainian Стриб (Stryb, hydronym), Russian стрыбый (strybyj, rapid, quick) matching Lithuanian sraujùs (rapid) et al.) from *stry-, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *srū-, from Proto-Indo-European *srew- (to flow, stream) + *-ati.

Original meaning was “to flow, run”. The modern meanings of Ukrainian стрибати (strybaty, to jump) is late and can be explained by figurative meaning “to flow quickly over a stone; run chaotically” which suggests a shift in meaning from horizontal to vertical movement. Cf. also Latvian diet (to run, dance, jump), Sanskrit प्रवते (pravate, to undulate, jump).
