enveloped virus - (pronounced) (EN-veh-lupt VY-rus) A virus with an outer covering or envelope. This covering comes off the infected cell or host in a process called "budding. " During the budding process, newly formed virus particles are "encapsulated," or wrapped in an outer shell made up of a small piece of the cell's plasma membrane. The envelope can play a role in helping a virus survive and infect other cells
