Definition:
A draught is air that travels with intention, slipping through gaps and carrying chill along with it. It can be felt more than heard, brushing skin and shifting small flames. Draughts reveal hidden openings—cracked windows, loose boards, or unseen vents. The sensation often sharpens awareness, as though the room has changed shape. The word suggests movement that comes from somewhere unknown.
