Where bad ideas get drawn first so good ones can happen later.
means A bound set of blank pages carried for drawing — practicing, planning, and thinking with a pencil before anything counts for real.
from A compound of 'sketch' and 'book.' Sketch entered English in the 1600s from Dutch 'schets,' itself borrowed from Italian 'schizzo' (a splash or spatter), tracing back to Latin 'schedius' — meaning offhand, done extempore. So the word's own root already contains the idea of something tossed off quickly, unfinished by design. 'Book' is just the old Germanic word for a bound stack of pages. Put together in English once artists needed a name for the portable pad where a hasty, unofficial splash of an idea could be caught before it got away.
