Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: reverse adj., engineering n.

Etymology: < reverse adj. + engineering n. Compare reverse-engineer v.

The examination of a product in order to determine its construction, composition, or operation, typically with a view to manufacturing a similar product; the reproduction of another manufacturer's product through such a process. Also in extended use.
