I. a monument of victory, built of captured arms, Lact. ad Stat. Th. 12, 62; Jornand. Get. 49.

Origins

Borrowed from Hunnic, further origins uncertain. 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.
