Origin:
The word "strew" originated from the Proto-Indo-European root *ster-, which means "to spread." This root is also the origin of the words "stretch," "star," and "stir."
In Old English, the verb "streowian" was used to describe the act of scattering seed or straw on the ground. Over time, the meaning of the word broadened to include any act of scattering or spreading.
The word "strew" is often used in a metaphorical sense to describe the spreading of ideas, information, or emotions. For example, we might say that someone "strewed rumors" throughout the town.
