A person skilled in making technical drawings and detailed plans, regardless of gender.
Modern gender-neutral term combining 'draft' + 'person.' Emerged in the late 20th century as English evolved to include inclusive language alternatives to gender-specific words like 'draftsman.'
The shift from 'draftsman' to 'draftsperson' reflects how professions historically closed to women opened up, and how language itself had to adapt to acknowledge women's equal participation in technical fields.
