EN: cellophane
This is the *actual* plastic wrap, 'yung pambalot ng yema, pastillas, o kaya 'yung sa bulaklak na binibigay mo sa jowa mo. It's the more formal, less common cousin of 'selopeyn,' which most people now use to mean 'tape.' Think of it as the clear, crinkly stuff, not the sticky one.
From English 'cellophane'.
While 'selopin' is the more accurate term for cellophane wrap, 'selopeyn' (tape) is more commonly used in daily conversation.
