That explanation is linked through 'the main word' below; but I feel it's more important to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
The word “Draw” is built on ancient words that mean Drag. #DrawnAndQuartered #DrawPoker #DrawOut #DrawTheLine #DrawBlood #DrawnMatch (when one #Withdraw from a game without knowing who won) #Withdraw #Wiredraw #Overdraw #Drew #DrawString #Indraw #Drawn #Drawing #Drawers #Drawer #Drawdown #Drawbridge #Drawback
The initialism “PDF” stands for #Portable Document #Format" (though it's often (incorrectly) said to stand for "Portable Data File" or "Portable Data Format," and it's also used for many other terms that don't apply here).
The word “Portable” is built on ancient words that mean "to Carry" (to Lead, Pass over). #Portability
The word “Format” is built on ancient words that mean "to |Shape, Form." #Formatted #Formatting #Formats
