Etymology: "Envelopers" is the plural of "enveloper," a noun formed in English by adding the suffix "-er" to the verb "envelop." The verb itself comes from Old French "envoluper," meaning to wrap up or wrap around, and the English form has been used since the early modern period. The "-er" ending is the familiar agent suffix, marking a person or thing that performs an action. Its ancestry runs back through Middle English "-er" and Old French "-ier," which descend from Latin "-arius," a suffix denoting a person connected with or doing a certain thing. In Old English the same ending appeared as "-ere," so the suffix has been part of English for over a thousand years, long before this particular word was built from it.

Synonyms: wrappers, coverers
