Colloquial n. sense of "anything that can draw a crowd" is from 1881 (the verb in this sense is 1586). To draw a criminal (drag him from a horse to place of execution) is from c.1330. To draw a blank "come up with nothing" (1825) is an allusion to a lottery. Drawback "hindrance, disadvantage" is from 1720; drawbridge is 14c. A drawer (1580) is a box that can be "drawn" out of a cabinet; drawers (1567) are garments that are pulled on.
