Root Explanation
Redrafting → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "draft" (from Old English "dræft", meaning a drawing or a version). The word "redrafting" means creating a new version or drawing again of a document or text.
Memory Tip
Think of 'doing it again' ('re-') with a 'version' or 'drawing' ('draft') — that's why redrafting means making a new version.
