Etymology

1. Etymology tree
2. Proto-Indo-European *ster-
3. Proto-Indo-European *sterh₃-
4. Proto-Indo-European *-tós
5. Proto-Indo-European *str̥h₃tós
6. Proto-Italic *strātos
7. Latin strātus
8. Latin via strātaellip.
9. Late Latin strātabor.
10. Proto-West Germanic *strātu
11. Anglian Old English strēt
12. Middle English strete
13. English street
14. Inherited from Middle English strete, from Anglian Old English strēt (“street”, compare West Saxon Old English strǣt) from Proto-West Germanic *strātu (“street”), an early borrowing from Late Latin (via) strāta (“paved (road)”), from Latin strātus, past participle of sternō (“stretch out, spread, bestrew with, cover, pave”), from Proto-Indo-European *sterh₃- (“to stretch out, extend, spread”). Doublet of estrade and stratum.
15. The /aː/ vowel of the Latin form shifted by Anglo-Frisian brightening to /æː/ in West Saxon and /eː/ in Anglian Old English; these developed respectively to /ɛː/ and /eː/ in Middle English, /ɛː/ and /iː/ in Early Modern English, and finally /iː/ in Modern English by the Great Vowel Shift. The modern spelling reflects the Anglian form, as in sleep, greedy, sheep.
