Etymology: The word is an inflected form, so it needs only a brief account. "Repacked" is the past tense and past participle of "repack", meaning to pack again, differently. That verb is simply "re-" attached to "pack", with the "re-" prefix from Latin and "pack" from Middle English, where it came from Middle Dutch "pak" (a bundle or load) and ultimately from Germanic roots tied to the idea of binding a load together.

Synonyms: reassembled, repackaged, reorganized
