'carelessly-wrapped' originates from the English words 'careless' and 'wrap,' where 'careless' meant 'without care' and 'wrap' meant 'to cover or enclose.'

'careless' changed from the Old English word 'carleas,' and 'wrap' from the Old English 'wræppan,' eventually forming the modern English compound adjective 'carelessly-wrapped.'

Initially, 'careless' meant 'free from care or worry,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'negligent or lacking attention.'
