Morphology

wrapped = wrap (transparent) = wrap + ed

The meaning 'covered or enclosed' is directly derived from the verb 'wrap' plus the participial/adjectival '-ed' form.

Etymology

Wrapped comes from the old English verb wrap, which means to fold cloth or paper around something. Think of a present with paper folded around it, so wrapped means 'covered' or 'enclosed'.
