Of unclear origin.
According to Frisk, an adjectival formation from the o-grade of στράγξ (stránx, “trickle, drop”) (as drops tend to be rounded), and/or with morphological influence from γογγῠ́λος (gongŭ́los, “round, spherical”).
However, Beekes is skeptical of the semantic link to στράγξ (stránx), and in light of the suffix -υλ- (-ul-) also found in κᾰμπῠ́λος (kămpŭ́los, “bent, curved”) and ἀγκύλος (ankúlos, “crooked, curved”), suggests a Pre-Greek origin for the word (with or without στράγξ (stránx)). Though this is possible, it is worth noting that the root of ἀγκύλος (ankúlos) is derived by Beekes himself from Proto-Indo-European, implying that the suffix, rather than the roots of the words, is from a substrate.
