A rough draft or preliminary version of a piece of writing; a sketch or first attempt.
From French 'brouillon,' derived from 'brouiller' (to confuse/mix up). The term evolved to mean a jumbled or rough version of something.
Every famous book you love started as a brouillon—an embarrassing mess of crossed-out lines and coffee stains that the author would never want you to see!
