Origin of the word draftsman

"Draftsman" has its roots in the word "draft," meaning a preliminary sketch or plan. It evolved from the Old French word "drait," meaning "straight" or "right," referring to the precision needed in creating these initial sketches. The suffix "-man" signifies a person who does a specific task, in this case, creating drafts. Therefore, a draftsman was originally someone who drew these preliminary sketches, often for architects, engineers, or other professionals. The term has become less common in modern times, often replaced by "drafter" or "designer."
