redrawing
再描画
解説 Definition
境界線や図面などを引き直すこと。地図や計画を新たに描き直す作業。
Redrawing is the act of drawing something again, often to correct it, improve it, or show it in a new form. It can be used for pictures, maps, plans, or borders. The word often suggests revision rather than creating something completely new.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
draw「線を引く・描く」が分かれば、redraw はそのまま「もう一度描く」。さらに -ing が付いた redrawing は「引き直していること／引き直し」という名詞的な形。覚えるときは redrawing the map, redrawing boundaries, redrawing the plan のように、地図・境界線・計画を引き直す場面で固めると残りやすい。文字を直すなら rewrite、色を塗り直すなら repaint なので、その違いも一緒に押さえると混同しにくい。
See `re-` + `drawing`: it means drawing again. In tech, `draw` often means putting images on a screen, so `redrawing` is easy to link with resizing a window, scrolling, or restoring part of a display. Remember it as more specific than a general `refresh`.

redrawing の語源・成り立ち Etymology
redrawing は re-「再び」＋ draw「引く」から成る。draw は古英語 dragan「引っ張る」にさかのぼり、drag や draft も同根なので、線をもう一度「引き直す」と考えると、再描画の意味がそのまま見えてくる。
This word is built from the prefix re-, meaning "again," and drawing, from draw. Draw goes back to Old English dragan, meaning "to pull" or "drag," and it is related to English words like drag and draft. The idea developed from pulling a line to making a picture or plan, so redrawing means drawing it again.
