Definition
A wrapper is a covering or piece of material that holds, protects, or decorates something, usually food like candy or snacks.
Usage & Nuances
Most common for food packaging (candy, chocolate, snacks), but can also mean any outer cover. Not used for large items (e.g., 'box' for electronics). Occasionally used in tech for a software 'wrapper' (interface), but this is a specialized meaning.
