"strēle" meaning in Latvian

See strēle in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [stɾɛ̂ːlɛ]
Etymology: From Proto-Indo-European *strel-, *strēl-, from *ster- (“line, streak, stripe; jet, spurt; beam”) (whence also Latvian stars (“ray, beam”), q.v.) with an extra l. The same stem also yielded the 17th-/18th-century verb strēlēt (“to shoot”), later replaced by šaut (“to shoot”). The basic meaning must have been “to scatter, to throw (around)”, from which “to shoot” and, as a nominalized form, “that which is shot”. Cognates include Lithuanian strėlė̃, strėlà (“arrow; shoot, branch; rafter”), Old Church Slavonic стрѣла (strěla), Belarusian, Bulgarian, Russian стрела́ (strelá), Ukrainian стріла́ (strilá, “arrow”), Czech střela (“arrow, projectile”), Polish strzała (“arrow”), Old High German strāla (“arrow, lightning bolt”), German Strahl (“ray, beam”).

The same stem also yielded the 17th-/18th-century verb strēlēt (“to shoot”), later replaced by šaut (“to shoot”). The basic meaning must have been “to scatter, to throw (around)”, from which “to shoot” and, as a nominalized form, “that which is shot”. Cognates include Lithuanian strėlė̃, strėlà (“arrow; shoot, branch; rafter”), Old Church Slavonic стрѣла (strěla), Belarusian, Bulgarian, Russian стрела́ (strelá), Ukrainian стріла́ (strilá, “arrow”), Czech střela (“arrow, projectile”), Polish strzała (“arrow”), Old High German strāla (“arrow, lightning bolt”), German Strahl (“ray, beam”).",
