What is the stringer area of wood stairs?

A Stringer is the long piece that the stair treads attach to on either side, and which goes diagonally up the wall. The handrails sit atop vertical supports which are secured into the stringer as well. As an addition, after Much researching, I conclude that the word has its origin in Italian - Stringa - which means to join together (and England was invaded by the Romans for a long time). And could also have some Danish (Viking) roots as the Danish word for Rise is Stigning, which could easily have been bastardized into the English Stringer. But as the Italians/Romans were known as stair makers, I'd go with Italian roots for the word. Michael Ross
