The word "wrap" originates from Middle English wrappen, meaning "to wind or cover." It likely stems from Old English wræppan or wreppan, with Proto-Germanic roots (wrapp-) conveying the idea of twisting or enveloping. The word has retained its core meaning of enclosing or coiling over centuries, reflecting its practical use in describing physical actions like bundling or covering objects.
