Word origin
The word 'strip' originated in Middle English from the Old English word 'strypan', meaning to 'strip off, plunder'. Over time, the meaning evolved to include removing coverings or layers. In the 17th century, 'strip' also acquired the meaning of a long narrow piece of material, leading to its modern usage in clothing and other contexts.
