Under wraps

(Giữ kín, giữ bí mật)


Meaning: If something is under wraps, it's being kept secret.
Kept well hidden. Something great or perfect kept hidden 'til the correct time.
A butterfly, kept in the cocoon until the right time. When the right time comes the butterfly emerges, one of Gods most beautiful creations. "The Butterfly is kept under-wraps until Gods timing."
Note: The most common collocation for this idiom is "to keep (something) under wraps".

For example:
  1. The organisers keep the name of the winner under wraps until it's announced on the show.
  2. Our new products are always under wraps until their official launch because we don't want other companies seeing them and copying them.

The best way to keep something under wraps is to
  1. put it into the refrigerator
  2. stop thinking about it
  3. let as few people as possible know about it
