Picture the person bent over the drawings long before anyone lays a brick: they decide the shape of the whole thing, then others build it. Because that role — designing the shape, not doing the labour — fits more than buildings, English lends the word to whoever drew up a plan that worked.

可以想成:在還沒有人動工之前,就趴在圖紙上的那個人——整棟建築長什麼樣子由他決定,蓋的則是別人。因為這個角色(決定形狀、不親手施工)不只適用於房子,英文也把這個字借給任何一個「想出整套計畫」的人。
