中文词源
streak 条纹，条痕
来自古英语 strica,条纹，线痕，笔划，来自 Proto-Germanic*strikon,轻触，轻击，来自 PIE*streig, 击，打，刮，词源同 strike,stroke.
streak 疾行，疾驰，裸奔改写自 streek,快走，疾行，方言变体自 stretch,展开，伸长，来自古英语 streccan,展开，伸长。 词义裸奔来自一则小故事，在 1973 年，美国马里兰大学突然出现了几百人的裸奔队伍，一 个记者偶然看到了这一幕，在报道时兴奋的大叫：“They are streaking past me right now.It's an incredible sight.”原义要表达的是，“他们刚刚在我身边跑过，真是一个难以置信的画面”， 后随着这则新闻报道的播出，有意无意的就赋予了该词裸奔的含义。参照维基百科。

英文词源
- streak
- streak: [OE] Streak and strike are closely related. Both come from a prehistoric Germanic base *strik-, denoting ‘touch lightly’. But whereas the connotations of strike have become more violent, streak has moved semantically from the action to the effect it produced on a surface. Originally, in the Old English period, it denoted simply a ‘mark’, but by the 16th century it had narrowed down to a long thin mark. The use of the verb streak for ‘run naked through a public place’ dates from the early 1970s.
=> strike - streak (n.)
- Old English strica "line of motion, stroke of a pen" (related to strican "pass over lightly"), from Proto-Germanic *strikon- (cognates: Middle Dutch streke, Dutch streek, Middle Low German streke "a stroke, line," Old High German, German strich, Gothic striks "a stroke, line"), from PIE root *streig- "to stroke, rub, press" (see strigil; also strike (v.), stroke (v.)). Sense of "long, thin mark" is first found 1560s. Meaning "a temporary run (of luck)" is from 1843.
- streak (v.2)
- 1768, "to go quickly, to rush, run at full speed," respelling (probably by association with streak (v.1)) of streek "to go quickly" (late 14c.), originally "to stretch oneself" (mid-13c.), a northern Middle English variant of stretch (v.). Related: Streaked; streaking.
- streak (v.1)
