Word Originnoun senses 1 to 2 and noun senses 5 to 6 late Middle English: from or related to Middle Low German strippe ‘strap, thong’, probably also to stripe. noun senses 3 to 4 Middle English (as a verb): of Germanic origin; related to Dutch stropen. Sense (3) of the noun arose in the late 20th cent., possibly from the notion of clothing to which a player “strips” down.
