Getting into the Actual Box Itself

Specifications (breakdown) of the box can be found on the nacl subdomain of the cr.yp.to site here = https://nacl.cr.yp.to/box.html

Essentially this 'box' provides an API-friendly, callable authenticated public key encryption tool for communications.

The entire scheme is setup with repudiation to provide plausible deniability (i.e., deniable authentication [dPAKE]).

What does "crypto_box" actually mean in libsodium and NaCl?

I cannot find what "crypto_box" actually means. In general, and in specific cases, what does "box" do? I know that libsodium is authenticated encryption, but GPG is not. "Box" makes me think the
