sketch

noun C1

Meaning

A sketch is a preliminary or rough drawing, often created to convey an idea or concept before the final work is executed; it can also refer to a brief written or verbal outline that encapsulates the essential features of a more complex subject or project.
💡 While "sketch" can refer to both visual and textual representations, it is often misused to imply a fully developed work; in academic contexts, clarity in distinguishing between a sketch and a finalized product is crucial.
