Definition
Older spelling of 'alignment'; the action or state of being arranged in a line or aligned.
Etymology
From French 'alignement', with the 'e' preserved from Old French, contrasting with modern 'alignment'. This spelling dominated technical and architectural texts through the 19th century.
Kelly Says
Victorian engineering blueprints and surveying manuals used 'alinement' while we now say 'alignment'—this shift shows how American spelling gradually replaced French-influenced variants.
