Word origin

The word 'withdrawn' originates from the Middle English word 'withdrāwen', which means 'to take back or away'. The prefix 'with-' means 'back' and 'drāwen' comes from the Old English word 'drāwan' meaning 'to draw, pull'. Over time, the word evolved to encompass the meanings of being shy or reserved, as well as the action of taking money out of an account.
