The only craft where doing it badly still gets a heartfelt thank you.
means The act of covering something—usually a gift—in paper or other material to conceal or present it.
from From Middle English 'wrappen,' to wind, fold, or cover, of uncertain origin but possibly related to Scandinavian and Frisian words for twisting or coiling. The '-ing' ending turns the verb into the action itself, and the word carried its sense of folding-around long before anyone thought to do it with festive paper and ribbon.
