Characterized by cold drafts or noticeable currents of moving air; having unwanted air flows through gaps or openings.
From 'draught' + '-y' suffix (meaning 'having the quality of'), with 'draught' tracing to Old Norse 'dráttr' meaning drawing or pulling.
British speakers say 'draughty' while Americans say 'drafty'—this is pure spelling heritage, not pronunciation differences, since both groups pronounce it the same way but spell it according to 17th-century conventions their ancestors chose!
