der Entwurf, ¨-e
draft
Es ist eine erste Version oder Skizze von etwas, zum Beispiel einem Plan, Text oder Bild, die später noch verändert werden kann.
The German word "Entwurf" is a noun meaning "draft," "design," or "blueprint." It is derived from the prefix "ent-" (often indicating the start of an action or something emerging) and the verb "werfen" (to throw). So, literally, it means "something thrown forth," i.e., a preliminary version or outline.
Similar words:
- Skizze (sketch)
- Plan (plan)
- Konzept (concept)
Differences:
- Entwurf usually refers to the first or rough version of a project, emphasizing an initial stage before completion.
- Skizze is often less detailed, more of a quick or informal drawing or idea.
- Plan and Konzept may imply more developed or structured ideas beyond the preliminary phase.
