Explanation:
You'll find a whole host of alternative terms for this if you do a KudoZ search since the question has been asked several hundred times (it seems to me) previously, but basically it is a space (reservation) reserved in the concrete, i.e. where concrete is not placed, either by placing a block of polystyrene, a crumpled up cement bag, or a timber frame or box (hence the term) when the concrete is poured.
