streyage  
ls(loanword: M.E. (?))

The word seems formally related to strai, which is reflected in the current definition. However, no further instances of it are found in Anglo-Norman, English or Latin, which suggests that the word may be a corruption of strandage, Middle English strikage n., or a similar term referring to a type of tax or charge.

s.

1taxtax or toll levied for stray animals (?)
