Etymology: "Redrawer" is about as plain as English word-building gets: it is the verb "redraw," meaning to draw again or to alter a drawing, with the suffix "-er" added to name the person who does the action. The same suffix turns "walk" into "walker" or "teach" into "teacher," so the word needs no special history to explain it. The verb itself is built from "re-," a prefix meaning "again" or "back," attached to "draw." The base "draw" traces back to Old English "dragan," which originally meant to drag or pull along, a sense that survives in the idea of pulling a line across a surface. Over time that physical dragging came to mean tracing a line with a pen or pencil, and "redraw" took on the sense of tracing or sketching something over again.
