Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

The terminology docs page mostly contains explanation of available classes. It should also contain explanation of words we use to describe relationships between those classes.

For example the docstring on xr.align just says "Given any number of Dataset and/or DataArray objects, returns new objects with aligned indexes and dimension sizes.", but there is no link given to a definition of what we mean by "aligned".

Research direction

Start with the terminology documentation page and the existing xr.align docstring referenced in the issue. Identify the page's structure and add an explanation or definition for “aligned” connected to Align. Done means the terminology page clearly explains this relationship and the relevant documentation provides access to that definition.
