"重箱" meaning in Japanese

See 重箱 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ka̠sa̠ne̞ba̠ko̞] Forms: 重箱 [canonical] (ruby: 重(かさね), 箱(ばこ)), kasanebako [romanization]
Etymology: From Old Japanese. Compound of 重ね (kasane, “a pile, a tier, a ply”) + 箱 (hako, “a box”), the first element being the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of classical verb 重ぬ kasanu, modern 重ねる kasaneru, “to make a pile of something, to stack something up”. The hako changes to bako as an instance of rendaku (連濁). This reading appears to be rare.
