Etymology: "Reboxes" is the third-person singular present form of the verb "rebox", so it simply carries the same meaning as the base verb, which is to put things back into boxes. The verb is formed from the prefix "re-", meaning again, attached to "box", the familiar word for a container with sides and a lid. Its construction is therefore transparent: to rebox something is to box it a second time, whether returning an item to its packaging after inspection or repacking goods for storage or shipping.

Synonyms: repackage, recontainer, repack
