a six-sided promise that anything inside is worth protecting, hiding, or fighting over
means A container, usually rectangular and rigid, used to hold, store, or transport things — or, as a verb, to fight with the fists.
from The container sense comes from Old English 'box,' the name for both a small case and the boxwood tree from which such cases were carved — traced back to Latin 'buxus' and Greek 'pyxos,' the boxwood. So the earliest boxes were quite literally made of box. The fighting sense, 'a blow with the hand,' appeared separately in late Middle English and is of uncertain origin — possibly imitative of the thump itself, with no proven link to the wooden box at all.
