[A flat engine in which] each pair of opposing pistons move inwards and outwards at the same time.

CONT

In a flat engine that is not a boxer, pairs of pistons share a crankpin. In a true boxer engine, every piston has its own crankpin. ... The result of the boxer motor's use of individual crankpins is that the pistons on either side move opposite one another, which helps to cancel out engine vibration. The back-and forth motion of the pistons resembles the punches of a boxer, which is where the engine gets its name.
