To put in good humor or satisfaction; the opposite of 'disgruntle.'
Created as the opposite of 'disgruntle' (dis- + gruntle), though 'gruntle' itself is quite rare. 'Gruntle' likely comes from a Scandinavian root meaning 'to grunt' or 'to grumble.' The prefix 'be-' adds the sense of 'to make' or 'to cause to be.'
