There's one more occurrence of "wrapped exception" in this file: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/19b6f49649a317e6b255aeb810c8d533119b93bb/src/java.base/share/classes/java/lang/Throwable.java#L548-L554

Note that we don't throw the "wrapped exception" we throw the exception that wraps it. The "wrapped exception" is the original cause. The wording as presented now is correct in that regard. You could also say "Throwing a wrapper exception (i.e. one that has a cause)" - I think both are grammatically correct.

The later text "where a wrapped exception is thrown from the same method" is again incorrect because the wrapped exception (the cause) is not what gets thrown. But I find that whole sentence rather jarring anyway - I'm not certain exactly what it means.
