A line so thin it's barely there, yet it claims whole deserts, comics, and dance floors.
means To remove a covering, layer, or contents from something — or, as a noun, a long narrow piece or band of material, land, or activity.
from From Old English 'strīpan' (to plunder, despoil) and the related Germanic family — a cousin of Middle Low German and Old High German words for stripping or robbing. The 'long narrow band' sense, the noun 'strip,' is closely tied to 'stripe' and likely shares that root, the idea of a thin marked-off line. So the verb that means to lay bare and the noun that means a thin band met under one short, hardworking word.
