[Not found till the 17th c., but prob. much older. If not a back-formation from striped a., prob. a. MLG. or MDu. strîpe (early mod.Du. † strijpe), corresp. to OHG. *strîfo (implied in the derivative strîphaht striped a.), MHG. strîfe (mod.G. streifen) masc., Sw. stripa, Da. stribe, also ON., MSw. stríp a striped fabric (cf.

Parallel synonymous forms, differing in ablaut-grade, are WFlem. striepe, MDu. strêpe (mod.Du. streep fem.); outside Teut. the OIrish sríab, stripe (:—*sreibā), srebnaid striped, are believed to be cognate. The Teut. root *strī̆p- (:*straip-):—pre-Teut. *streib- seems to have been nearly synonymous with *strī̆k-:—pre-Teut. *streig- (see strike v.), to which it may be ultimately related; the sense of the root is shown in the wk. verb OHG. *straifjôn (MHG. streifen, streipfen, mod.G. streifen) to graze, pass over lightly, wander (the mod.G. streifen also represents MHG. ströufen: see strip v.1). For other cognates see strip n.2, stripe n.1, n.2, and v.1
