Word origin
The word unwrap originated from the combination of the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' or 'opposite of' and the word 'wrap' which dates back to the 14th century. 'Wrap' comes from the Old English 'wrappian' which means 'to wind, cover, or conceal'. Over time, the prefix 'un-' has been used to create words that denote the reversal or removal of an action, as seen in 'unwrap'. The word has evolved to encompass the act of revealing or undoing something that is covered or hidden.
