STRIP

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 1039 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
STRIP , to remove or tear off the outer covering of anything, hence to rob or plunder; also a narrow
long
  piece of stuff or material, or a mark or division narrow in proportion to its length distinguished from its ground or surroundings by colour or other variation of texture, character, &c.; a stripe; this last word is a variant of "strip," a particular meaning, that of a stroke or lash of a whip, is either due to the
original
  meaning of " strip," to flay, or to the
long
  narrow mark or wheal left by a blow. The O. Eng. strypan, to strip, is cognate with Du. stroopen, Ger. streifen, and the root is possibly seen in " strike," Lat. stringere. " To strip " has many technical meanings, e.g. to
separate
  the tobacco
leaf
  from the stems, to remove the over-lying soil from a
mineral
  deposit before opening and working it, to turn a gun-barrel in a
lathe
 , &c. In architecture, a " strip pilaster " is a narrow pilaster such as is found in Saxon
work
  and in the Italian Romanesque churches. " Stripling," a youth, is apparently a diminutive of " strip," in the sense of a
young
  growing lad.
