if you mean the word origin then the Old English 'Streccan' which may well have been derived from a Swedish word 'Stracka'

The word "stretch" has evolved over time and its origins are not attributed to a single person. It comes from the Old English word "streccan," meaning to extend or draw tight.

What is the correct form of noun of stretch?

The word 'stretch' is the correct form of the noun. The word 'stretch' is a noun (stretch, stretches), a verb (stretch, stretches, stretching, stretched), and an adjective (stretch). The noun 'stretch' is a common, concrete noun; a countable noun as a word for exercises used to limber the muscles; an uncountable noun as a word for the ability of a fabric or material to extend when pulled with some force. (2) A good way of checking if a word operates as a noun is to see if you can put a determiner ('a' or 'the' for example) in front of it in a sentence. In these sentences: "It was quite a stretch for us, but we made it"; "The stretch of road between the mall and the beach front was wet and slippery"; "The judge sentenced the prisoner to a stretch behind bars", 'stretch' operates as a noun. Note that putting a modifier between the determiner and the noun doesn't stop it being a noun:"It was a big stretch but we made it"; "The broken stretch of road leading to the beach front is dangerous"; "The judge gave the drunk driver a two year stretch"; "Yusain Bolt broke his leg in the home stretch". 'I always stretch after exercise"; "My jeans won't stretch"; "They stretch their resources to breaking point to stay on budget": here 'stretch' is working as a verb. And in "She was wearing stretch jeans and a cut-off T-shirt when she pulled up at the Prom in a stretch limo." as an adjective.
