erleuchten

to illuminate

Past (Präteritum)

erleuchtete

Past participle

erleuchtet (haben)

Regular weak verb using haben to indicate the act of casting light upon something. It is used both in literal contexts for physical illumination and in figurative senses regarding mental clarity or spiritual enlightenment. It is the inseparable counterpart to the rare and archaic compound leuchten. It should not be confused with the verb erhellen, which suggests a gradual lightening of a space rather than the act of casting light from an external source.
