the.com/draw
The oldest human urge: to leave a mark before language ever learned to spell it.
means To make marks, lines, or pictures on a surface — or, by extension, to pull, drag, or attract something toward you.
from From Old English 'dragan,' meaning to drag, pull, or carry — a word rooted in the physical act of hauling something across the ground. It shares ancestry with Old Norse 'draga' and is a cousin of words across the Germanic family. The sense of 'drawing' a picture grew naturally from this: to draw a pencil is to pull it across a surface, leaving a trail. So the artist and the ox both 'draw' — one pulls a line, the other a plough.
