Etymology: "Redrew" is the simple past of "redraw," and it is a plain formation: the prefix re-, meaning "again," attached to "draw." Its meaning follows directly from the parts. To redraw something is to draw it once more, so "redrew" describes a lines-based revision made by drawing over what was drawn before. The prefix re- comes from Latin "re-," which carried the sense of "back" or "again," and it reached English through Old French "re-" and Middle English "re-." The verb "draw" has a much longer ancestry. It descends from Old English "dragan," which meant to drag or pull, and that sense of hauling something along still sits underneath the modern meaning of making marks with a pen or pencil.
