Present participle of 'aline'; the act of arranging or aligning things.
From 'aline' + '-ing' (present participle marker). This archaic form predates the more common modern 'aligning'.
Old texts show 'alining' with one 'l', but 'aligning' with two—English tried both, and we settled on the version that looks more like the root word 'line'.
