Etymology

According to Pfeiffer, from a Proto-Indo-European *stremb-, *stremp- (“stump, short”), from a nasal labial extension of *sterh₁- (“to be stiff”); compare Proto-Germanic *staraz (“stiff”),[1] as well as Latvian strumps (“short”), which appears to be particularly close in formation.[2] However, the laryngeal reconstruction is problematic. Compare also Middle Low German stram and German stramm (“tight, taught; upright, erect”). This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term.
