Picture a row of things that are supposed to meet one straight line, and one of them sitting slightly off it. You nudge it back until the line runs clean again. That is realign, and the picture stays the same however large the row gets: photo edges on a shelf, wheels under a bike, columns on a page, departments in a company, people standing on one side of an argument. What never changes is that something has a line to meet, and it is being brought back to it.
可以想成一排東西本來該對上同一條直線，其中一樣稍微歪掉了。你把它推回去，那條線就又順了。realign 就是這個畫面，而且不管這一排放大到多大，畫面都一樣：層架上照片的邊、單車的輪子、頁面上的欄位、公司裡的部門，甚至站在同一邊的人。始終不變的是：有一條線要對上，而某樣東西正被帶回那條線上。
From the word’s history
Wiktionary gives realign as re- + align, with re- reaching English through Old French from Latin re-. The core image is the word taken apart: line it up again.
Wiktionary 記錄 realign 由 re- 加 align 組成，re- 經古法文來自拉丁文 re-。核心畫面其實就是把這個字拆開念：再排一次線。
