Etymology

The term 'draftier' is derived from the word 'draft,' which has its origins in the Old English 'drรฆft,' meaning a drawing or a pull. This word evolved over time, gaining various meanings associated with air movements, such as a current of air entering a room or space. The comparative form 'draftier' suggests an increased level of such air movement compared to other spaces. The concept of drafts is particularly relevant in architecture and building contexts, where energy efficiency and comfort are affected by air leaks, leading to the need for better insulation practices. The term highlights the awareness of indoor environments and how they can impact comfort levels.
