How do I make each each element in array another array?

I have some text that I receive from the user:

var text = ['Hello', 'World']; // this is the product of string.split(',')

I need to convert it into an array like this one:

var argument = [['Hello'], ['World']];

I need the input in this format so I can send multiple values to the db.

How can I do this elegantly?

I can't think of anything more elegant for this than map:

E.g.:

var argument = originalString.split(",").map(function(entry) {
    return [entry];
});

Or if you've enabled ES6 on your NodeJS installation:

var argument = originalString.split(",").map((entry) => [entry]);
