Even prepared to cut and wrap it up in (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

envelop

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wrap it up in' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'even prepared to cut' is the wordplay.
'prepared' is an anagram indicator.
'to cut' becomes 'lop' (lopping is a kind of cutting).
'even' with letters rearranged gives 'enve'.
'enve'+'lop'='ENVELOP'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for envelop that I've seen before include "Shroud, cover up" , "Surround completely" , "Wrap up, cover on all sides" , "Give all-round cover" , "Wrap up - pen love (anag)" .)
