Root Explanation

Wrapper → It is formed from "wrap" (from Old English *wrappian*, meaning to cover or enclose) and "-er" (meaning a person or thing that performs an action). A wrapper is something that covers or encloses another object.

Memory Tip

Think of something that 'covers' ('wrap') another object, and the '-er' indicates that it is the thing doing the covering.
