"warm" has two uses. "having a somewhat elevated temperature" and "which can keep (someone) at a somewhat elevated temperature". So you can have a warm room or a warm house. Or, a warm blanket or a warm coat.

It does mean to wrap up, but to wrap up also means to wear enough clothes to be warm.

Fine, but we normally just talk of wrapping up, not wrapping up our bodies.

A common slip by my Japanese students is using 'body' instead of '-self':

(X) 'I washed my body' instead of 'I washed myself'.
