Etymology
The term 'redraft' is formed by prefixing 're-' (meaning again) to the noun 'draft.' The word 'draft' originates from the Middle English 'drafte,' which derived from the Old English 'dræft,' meaning a pulling or drawing, related to the act of drawing up plans or documents. The sense of creating a preliminary version or outline of a piece of writing began to evolve in the late 14th century. Over time, as specialized practices like legal writing and formal documentation developed, the need for multiple versions or revisions became apparent, giving rise to the need for terms like 'redraft.' This reflects the evolution of language in response to professional and practical demands for clarity and precision in writing.
