The answer
DRAFT
What draft means
A preliminary version of a document, plan, or piece of writing that is not yet final and is intended for review and revision.
Where the word comes from
From Old Norse *dráttr* (drawing, pulling), related to *drátta* (to draw or drag). This passed into Middle English as *draught*, referring to the act of pulling or hauling, then to a current of air (something drawn), and eventually to a preliminary version of writing (a "rough pull" or sketch). The spelling *draft* emerged as a variant in American English by the 1600s.
