This verb means to wrap or wind something in cloth, typically for burial. In Mark 15:46, Joseph of Arimathea wraps Jesus' body in a linen shroud after taking it down from the cross. This is burial vocabulary, describing the reverent preparation of a corpse according to Jewish custom. The wrapping in fine linen indicates both respect and haste before Sabbath. Classical usage included wrapping things in material or metaphorically being entangled, but Mark's usage is literal and poignant.
