Etymology
The word 'redraw' comes from the prefix 're-' meaning 'again' or 'anew' and 'draw,' which has its origins in Old English 'dragan,' meaning to 'pull' or 'drag.' The use of 'draw' in the context of creating images has evolved significantly over time. Initially, it referred to the act of pulling or dragging a tool across a surface to make marks. As artistic techniques developed, the meaning expanded to encompass various forms of creating images or representations, such as sketching or illustrating. The formation of 'redraw' became especially prevalent with the rise of graphic design and computer graphics in the late 20th century, where artists frequently revisit and modify existing designs to enhance their work.
