The word 'carefully-wrapped' is a compound formed from 'carefully' (adverb form of 'careful') and 'wrapped' (past participle of 'wrap'). 'Careful' comes from Old English 'carful', and 'wrap' comes from Old English 'wrappan'.

'Carefully-wrapped' is a modern English compound, combining the adverb 'carefully' and the past participle 'wrapped' to describe something that has been wrapped with care.

Initially, the components meant 'with care' and 'enclosed in covering', and together they now mean 'wrapped with great care'.
