Etymology

Inherited from Proto-Slavic *strǫga, possibly borrowed from a paleo-Balkan substrate (per Miklošič, perhaps via Romainian), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *strengʰ- (taut, stiff, tight). From the same source are hypothesized to descend also Romanian strungă (runaway, strait) (whence Ukrainian стру́нґа (strúnga), стру́нка (strúnka), Hungarian esztrenga), Albanian shtrungë (runaway within sty).
