Etymology of REDRAFT

The word "redraft" is a combination of two roots: "re-" and "draft".

The prefix "re-" is derived from Latin and means "again" or "back", indicating repetition or returning to a previous state or action. It is often used to indicate redoing or revising something.

The word "draft" has its roots in the Old English word "dræft" or "dræfan", meaning to "draw" or "drag". It originally referred to the action of drawing or hauling something, such as a load or a cart. Over time, it evolved to also mean a preliminary version or plan that may require further work or revision.

When combined, "re-" and "draft" create the word "redraft", which refers to the act of revising or creating a new version of a document, plan, or piece of writing.
