means Decorative paper (or paper-like material) applied to walls to cover them in color, pattern, or texture — and by extension, anything used to visually paper over a flaw, including a digital background image or a thin disguise for a real problem.

from A straightforward 16th–17th century compound of 'wall' and 'paper': before actual paper was used, 'wallpaper' and its precursors (painted cloth, tooled leather, tapestry) served the same job — covering bare walls. Paper versions became affordable once printing and papermaking scaled up, and the word settled into English as the trade for these decorative sheets grew in the 1700s. The figurative sense — papering over problems, or a screen's digital backdrop — is a much later extension, riding on the same core image of covering something up rather than fixing it.
