reseats

Moves theater patrons

Reseats is the third person singular form of reseat, meaning to seat again or in a different position.

You might reseat guests at a dinner party after rearranging tables, or a theater usher reseats patrons whose view is obstructed.

In technical contexts, reseating involves refitting a component into its proper position: The technician reseats the memory card to fix the connection issue.

When a valve or fitting reseats, it settles back into its correct alignment.
