verb
heitern
cheer up
The German word "heitern" is derived from the adjective "heiter," which means "cheerful" or "serene." As a verb, "heitern" can be thought to relate to the actions of lightening up, cheering up, or making serene, although it is not commonly used as a verb in regular German speech.
Instead, "heiter" itself is widely used to describe weather as sunny or a mood as cheerful. Similar expressions related to cheerfulness include "aufheitern" (to cheer up), "erheitern" (to amuse), and "aufmuntern" (to encourage or brighten up).
