Morphology

reman = remanufacture (opaque) = re + manufacture

The verb is a clipped technical shortening of remanufacture, so learners usually need prior knowledge of the source word to recover the meaning.

Etymology

To reman is a short form of remanufacture, made from re- 'again' and manufacture 'to make'. So to reman a part means to remake or rebuild it so it works like new.
