Brighten (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cheer

'brighten' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for cheer that I've seen before include "Shout encouragingly" , "Buck up" , "Applaud and acclaim" , "party refreshment?" , "one in three, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, the Evening Standard and the Penny Press.
