I mean, you know ligiments are what binds our body together right?
Re-ligon is what binds people back together.
I don’t think it’s about legos, that seems like a latter justification that it was (and always was) an established thing that people repeated unchanging. We know that’s not true

According to Roman philosopher Cicero, religiō comes from relegere: re (meaning ‘again’) + lego (meaning ‘read’), where lego is in the sense of ‘go over’, ‘choose’, or ‘consider carefully’. Contrarily, some modern scholars such as Tom Harpur and Joseph Campbell have argued that religiō is derived from religare: re (meaning ‘again’) + ligare (‘bind’ or ‘connect’), which was made prominent by St. Augustine following the interpretation given by Lactantius in Divinae institutiones, IV, 28.
