To make something brisk; to quicken the pace or become more lively and energetic.
Formed from the adjective 'brisk' with the suffix '-en,' which in English can turn adjectives into verbs meaning 'to make' or 'to become' that quality.
English has tons of these '-en' verbs that we forget about (brighten, darken, quicken)—they're like linguistic shortcuts that let you turn any quality into an action.
