How did "Draw" come to mean pull, as in draw drapes?
Solution 1:
Oh Gosh, apparently "pull" is the original meaning of "draw", not producing artwork! Draw comes from a word meaning "to drag", so "drawing" a picture is about dragging the pencil across the paper! I guess I thought that producing artwork as a verb was important enough to have a word of its own, but apparently dragging things is more important. I hate language.
