'Under wraps' có từ wraps là giấy hay vải bọc ngoài một đồ vật. Vì thế under wraps có nghĩa là được giữ bí mật, hay giữ kín.

Ví dụ

Rumors (tin đồn) about my promotion (thăng chức) had been going around for weeks. Although management wanted to keep it under wraps until an official (chính thức) announcement could be made, now the secret’s (bí mật) out: I’m going to be the new VP (Vice President: phó giám đốc) of Marketing.

Don’t bother (đừng phí công) trying (tìm cách) to interview the author (tác giả). He’s keeping the details (chi tiết) of his upcoming book tightly under wraps. Until it’s published (xuất bản), no one is to have any idea what it’s about. That’s one way to build interest (sự chú ý) among readers!
