box

Interesting word box. It comes from Late Latin buxus from Greek πυξις (puksis) '(cosmetic) box', which in turn is related to πυξος (puksos) 'boxwood tree', which also made it's way into Latin as buxus, and then into English as box in the sense of the tree. Pandora's name means 'all giving' in Greek.
