Etymology
The term 'draftily' is derived from the adjective 'drafty', which originates from the noun 'draft'. The word 'draft' has roots in Middle English, stemming from the Old English 'dræft', which means 'to draw' or 'to pull'. Historically, 'draft' was used to describe a preliminary version of a document or a sketch of an idea. The transition to the adverb form '-ily' indicates a manner of action, suggesting that something is done in the style of a draft. The concept of drafting can be traced back to the early practices of writing and publishing, where initial versions were often rough and unrefined, paving the way for further revisions and finalization.
