- wrap
- wrap: [14] The antecedents of wrap are a mystery. It has no known Germanic relatives, although it is similar to North Frisian wrappe ‘stop up’ and Danish dialect vrappe ‘stuff’. A possible connection has been suggested with Greek ráptein ‘sew, patch’ and Lithuanian verpti ‘spin’.
- wrap (v.)
- early 14c., wrappen, "to wind (something around something else), cover (something), conceal; bind up, swaddle; fold (something) up or back on itself," of uncertain origin, perhaps via Scandinavian (compare Danish dialectal vravle "to wind"). Or perhaps a variant of lap (v.2). To wrap up "put an end to" is from 1926. Related: Wrapped; wrapping. Wrapping paper is from 1715.
