Etymology

The word 'stretch' originates from the Old English term 'streccan', which means to extend or stretch out. This word has its roots in the Proto-Germanic '*strekan', meaning to stretch or pull tightly. It has evolved over the centuries, passing through various forms in different Germanic languages, including the Old Norse 'strekkja' and Middle Dutch 'strekken'. The term has been used in English since at least the 15th century and has developed various meanings over time, including its current usage in physical and metaphorical contexts. The addition of the suffix 'ed' forms the past tense, indicating completed action.
