Etymology
Alteration of earlier Middle English wlappen (“to wrap, fold”), from Old English *wlappan, *wlæppan, *wlappian, *wlæppian, from Proto-Germanic *wrappan-, *wlappan- (“to wrap, fold”), from Proto-Indo-European *werb- (“to bend, turn”). Akin to Middle English wrappen (“to wrap”), Danish vravle (“to wind”), Old Italian goluppare (“to wrap”) (from Germanic). More at envelop, develop.
