To draw a card (Japanese: ドロー dorō) is to take the top card of your Main Deck and add it to your hand.
Drawing a card is a form of "adding a card from the Deck". If "Blackwing - Breeze the Zephyr" was drawn by a card effect, then you can Special Summon it. This is why "Thunder King Rai-Oh" distinctly states its exception in its monster effect, and "Drastic Drop Off" clarifies that drawing is considered adding a card to the hand.
Every turn during your Draw Phase, you must normally draw 1 card from your Deck. The player going first cannot do this on their first turn.
Some card effects can also let you draw cards, such as "Pot of Greed", "Royal Magical Library", and "Jar of Greed".
Incidentally, there is a difference between "number of draws" and "number of cards drawn". The number of draws refers to the number of times any number of cards are drawn. For example, "Pot of Greed" allows the player to draw 2 cards, but the number of draws is only 1 because both cards are drawn at the same time. However, cards like "Heart of the Underdog" only facilitate drawing one card per effect activation, but the effect itself can be activated any number of times.
If a player is unable to draw because they do not have enough cards left in their Deck, that player loses the Duel (known as Decking Out).
