Morphology

remanufacture = remanufacture (semi-transparent) = re + manufacture

Using the verb as a count noun meaning the result of remanufacturing is understandable, but this product sense is a specialized extension rather than the most automatic interpretation.

Etymology

Remanufacture comes from the parts re- 'again' and manufacture 'to make'. So, a remanufacture is a product that has been 'made again' from used parts to look and work like new.
