wound (wrapped) is a verb in the 1st part of the sentence (pronounced (wownd).
It is a noun is the latter (pronounced woond).

The word "wound" (pronounced "wownd") as it is used in the first part of the sentence is simply the past tense of "wind." An example would be, "Hold still, I am winding this bandage around your wound." Another would be, "He wound the clock yesterday because it was slowing down." In the first part of the sentence, I believe it is the verb (action being done). At the end, "wound" (pronounced "woooond") is an injury, usually open, bleeding, or in the process of healing. If you cut yourself, you could have an open wound for a while if you need stitches and don't get them... Hope this helps you!

The first wound means like a clock woulds(in other words--around)..the badge was around the wound...that would be a verb--because it is an action to wind in around(wound)

Wound. adjective: to put in a coil
it just means to wrap around. Like you bandage up an injury. Its like you would wrap a bandaid around your finger if you got a papercut or something.

"wound' is the past tense of the verb 'to wind' (meaning to wrap, as you would wrap a bandage).
