Umziehen - to change clothes, to move to a new home

aufziehen - to tease or ridicule someone, to wind up a clockwork, to raise kids

abziehen - to leave, to scam someone, to pull something off something else

herziehen - to gossip about someone

Anziehen - to attract something, to put on clothes

Yeah there are some of these for ziehen. You might be on to something. But for many generic verbs there are many variants with vastly different meanings. Like Machen - to make, or tun - to do, gehen - to go.
