Envelopers

/ɪnˈvɛləpərz/ noun

Definition

People or things that wrap or cover something completely, like wrapping a gift or surrounding an object.

Etymology

From 'enveloper' (one who envelops) plus plural suffix '-s'. 'Envelop' comes from Old French 'envoloper' meaning to wrap or cover, possibly from 'en-' (in) and 'voloper' related to rolling or wrapping.

Kelly Says

The word 'enveloper' is rarely used compared to 'envelope' (the noun), showing how English prefers the container itself over naming the person who creates it—kind of like how we say 'envelope' but rarely say 'the enveloper made it.'
