Etymology edit
Often claimed to be from Proto-Germanic *strawjaną (“to strew”). But if the sense is indeed "funeral feast", a derivation from Proto-Slavic *sъtrava (“food”) is much more probable.
Noun edit
strava f (genitive stravae); first declension
- a rite performed by the Huns, perhaps a monument of victory built of captured arms, or a funeral feast
