Use funcall
funcall
or apply
:
(setq wrapped-copy (symbol-function 'emacs-version))
(fset 'fn (lambda () (funcall wrapped-copy)))
(fn)
"GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.32, cairo version 1.16.0)
of 2020-06-15"
Although, in general, I would use an advice for wrapping a function.
