The verb "wrap" has its roots in Old English, where it appeared as "wrappian" meaning "to wind, to cover". It is related to the Old Norse "rapp", which also means "to wind". Over time, the term "wrap" evolved in English to refer to the act of enclosing or covering something with a material, such as paper or cloth.
Therefore, "unwraps" is a word that describes the action of removing or undoing a wrapping, taking apart what was enclosed or covered.
