Morphology

reman = remanufacture (opaque) = re + manufacture

This noun is a clipped technical shortening of remanufacture, so the link to its source form is not readily recoverable from the shortened shape alone.

Etymology

Reman is the short form of remanufactured, from re- 'again' and manufacture 'to make'. So a reman noun is a product that has been rebuilt or remade to work like new.
