  "definition": "A virus that has an outer wrapping or envelope. This envelope comes from the infected cell, or host, in a process called \"budding off.\" During the budding process, newly formed virus particles become \"enveloped\" or wrapped in an outer coat that is made from a small piece of the cell's plasma membrane. The envelope may play a role in helping a virus survive and infect other cells.",
