strode の語源・成り立ち Etymology
strode は stride の過去形で、古英語 stridan「大股で進む」に由来する強変化動詞です。stride や bestride と同根で、普通に歩くより一歩が大きい動きが核にあるため、「大股で歩いた」が strode になります。
Strode is the inherited strong-verb past tense of stride. Stride comes from Old English strīdan, meaning to move with long steps or to proceed energetically. Like many old Germanic strong verbs, it forms its past through a change inside the stem rather than the regular -ed ending: stride becomes strode. The central image has remained movement made with unusually long, purposeful steps.
