From Proto-Indo-European *srútis, from *srew- (“to flow, stream”) +‎ *-tis, equivalent to ῥέω (rhéō, “to flow, stream, gush”) +‎ -σῐς (-sĭs).

Cognate with Sanskrit स्रुति (srúti-, “stream, (out)flow, discharge; course, path; drain”) and Lithuanian srū́ti (“to flow, run (of water); to cover oneself with water”).[1]
