strąga

See also: straga and strãgã

Polish

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”).
