    Note

    One spelling does two jobs: the plain past (they wrapped it) and the participle after have or be (it has been wrapped, it was wrapped). Every sense of the verb travels with it. A film crew can say the shoot wrapped, an editor that a long line wrapped onto the next one, and a programmer that a library was wrapped for reuse. Before a noun, it shades into the adjective for packaged things.

    The crew wrapped the final scene just after midnight.

    The heading was too long and wrapped onto a second line.

  2. 2
    adjective
