Etymology
The word 'straw' originated from Old English 'streaw', which is related to Old High German 'stro', meaning 'straw'. Straw has been used by humans for thousands of years, initially as bedding, then as thatching for roofs, and later for various other purposes. The modern use of straw in items like drinking straws and straw hats reflects its versatility and enduring popularity.
