Word origin
The word 'drafting' originated from the Middle English word 'draught', which comes from the Old English word 'dragan', meaning 'to draw'. Initially used in the context of pulling something, it later evolved to refer to the act of drawing up documents or plans. The term gained popularity in legal and sports contexts, reflecting its dual usage in legal document preparation and player selection processes.
