/strænd/
A strand is one single thin thread or piece, like a strand of hair, a strand of rope, or a strand of DNA. 'Strand' is also a verb: to be stranded means to be stuck somewhere with no way to leave — 'stranded on a desert island' or 'stranded at the airport because of a canceled flight.' You can also talk about a 'strand' of an idea or story, meaning one thread or part of a bigger, more whole.
