An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Strudel

From Wikisource

Strudel, masculine, ‘eddy, whirlpool, vortex,’ from the equivalent late Middle High German strudel, masculine. A graded form from Old High German strëdan, strong verb, ‘to roar, bubble’; Latin strîdere, ‘to whiz,’ is not connected with the High German cognates.
