Morphology
The meaning 'a thin, transparent plastic film used for wrapping food' is directly derivable from combining 'Saran' (a trademarked plastic film) with 'wrap' (a thin covering). Although 'Saran' is a brand name, the brand+product composition is straightforward and learners who know both constituents will readily infer the referent.
Etymology
The name Saran Wrap started as a brand for a very thin, clear plastic film used to cover food. The word Wrap shows how the film clings over bowls and plates to 'keep' food 'fresh', and so today people use Saran Wrap to mean any cling, see-through food covering.
