'tightly-wrapped' originates from the combination of 'tight' and 'wrap,' where 'tight' meant 'firmly or closely' and 'wrap' meant 'to cover or enclose.'

'tight' and 'wrap' have been used in English since the Middle Ages, evolving into the modern compound adjective 'tightly-wrapped.'

Initially, 'tight' meant 'firmly' and 'wrap' meant 'to enclose,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
