Origin

Old English streng (noun), of Germanic origin; related to German Strang, also to strong. The verb (dating from late Middle English) is first recorded in the senses 'arrange in a row' and 'fit with a string'.

The Germanic root of the Old English word string is related to strong, and in early use it could refer to a rope or cord of any thickness. If you have many strings to your bow you have a wide range of resources, just as an archer ought to have spare strings. A different kind of string lies behind the expression have someone on a string, meaning ‘to have someone under your control or influence’. The idea behind this 16th-century phrase is of a puppeteer manipulating a puppet by its strings. An opportunity or offer with no strings attached has no special conditions or restrictions that apply. This is a relatively recent expression, first used in the 1950s, though it is based on an earlier US use of string meaning ‘a limitation or condition’.
