straken.¹

Brit.

/streɪk/, U.S.

/streɪk/

Forms: Also α. 1500s strack, strak, straake, 1600s straak, 1500s–1700s straik; β. 1500s streake, 1500s–1800s streak.

Etymology: Middle English strake , apparently belonging to the Germanic root *strak- whence *strakjan , Old English stręccan stretch v. Compare North Frisian (Sylt) straak a stretch, straake v. to stretch oneself.It is perhaps impossible to distinguish accurately between this word and streak n.¹ ( < Old English strica ). From the 16th cent., in some dialects, streak has been a possible phonetic spelling of strake n.¹, and strake of streak n.¹ The two words, etymologically unconnected, have developed senses nearly coincident, and have to some extent coalesced. There is also some confusion between this word and strake , northern form of stroke n.⁴

a. A section of the iron rim of a cartwheel.

Etymology: Of obscure origin. Possibly the same word as strake n.¹; compare strake-shide (strake n.¹ Compounds) and side-strakes, used dialect for the two longitudinal timbers of a sawpit ( W. Som.
