Having a pattern of lines or bands of different colors running across the surface.
From Middle Dutch 'strepen' (to stripe), which came into English in the 1500s; past participle of 'stripe,' originally referring to the act of making long narrow lines.
Stripes appear everywhere in nature—from zebras to fish to bees—and scientists believe many animals use them as 'motion blur' to confuse predators by making it hard to judge their speed.
