resettle

'alight one more time' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'on bench' is the wordplay.
'on' becomes 're' (regarding).
'bench' becomes 'settle' (settle is a kind of bench).
're'+'settle'='RESETTLE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for resettle that I've seen before include "Move to new state" , "Take up residence in a different place" , "Move to live in a different place" , "Colonise again" , "up sticks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
