Derived from the Middle French word 'aligner', formed from 'a-' (from Latin 'ad', meaning 'to') and 'ligne' (from Latin 'linea', meaning 'line'). It entered English in the late 16th century, originally relating to military formations in a straight line before broadening to mean placing things in correct relative positions or coordinating goals.
