While "tract" itself doesn't mean "to pull or drag", it's derived from the Latin "trahere" which means "to pull, draw, or drag". The word "tract" can mean:
* A region or area of land: This sense comes from the idea of pulling a line across the land, marking out a boundary.
* A piece of writing: This sense comes from the idea of drawing someone's attention to a specific point.
* A system of organs or tissues: This sense comes from the idea of pulling or drawing together parts of the body.
So, while "tract" doesn't directly translate to "to pull or drag", the root of the word "tract" is the Latin "trac", meaning "to pull or drag".
