'box-shaped' originates from the English word 'box' combined with the suffix '-shaped', where 'box' refers to a container with flat surfaces and 'shaped' indicates form or appearance.

The term 'box-shaped' evolved from the combination of 'box' and 'shaped' in English, maintaining its meaning of resembling a box in form.

Initially, it meant 'having the form of a box', and this meaning has remained consistent in modern usage.
