Morphology

reman = remanufacture (opaque) = re + manufacture

This is a clipped technical shortening of remanufacture, so the meaning depends on knowing the source term rather than on a standard English affix rule.

Etymology

Reman is short for remanufactured, built from re- 'again' and manufacture 'to make'. So reman as an adjective describes something that has been made again to work like new.
