I know that “center” and “centre” are the respective American and British spellings of the word, but is “recenter” spelt “recentre” in the British way, or not? I tried to Google for “recentre”, but no dictionary came up with it. Actually, is that even a real word? I’m trying to get the word meaning
to bring back to the middle after being away from it

but the pattern of “center” and “centre” is very different over time.
Odd…. and fuel for thought!
