Seriously can someone teach me how to explain this term?/subject during a family gathering the more i try to explain the more complex it becomes! thank you everyone!

So, say you want to build a “thing”. Normal engineering process is you start with an idea, turn that idea into an actual design, figure out how to manufacture it, what to make it out of, etc. Depending on the complexity of the “thing”, this can be a lot of work. Sometimes just figuring out *how* to make a “thing” can be the hardest part even if you already know the theory of how it works.
Reverse engineering, you already have an example of the “thing”. Somebody else made it. What you’re doing is taking it apart and studying it to see how to recreate it.
And again, depending on the complexity of the “thing”, this can a fairly simple or extremely complex process.
