hemelen
Dutch
editPronunciation
editEtymology 1
editFrom Middle Dutch hêmelen. The word is probably related to heimelijk (“secret”), and in early modern Dutch it still meant "to clean up, to tidy". Semantic influence from hemel (“heaven”) likely shifted its meaning from this towards "to make nice, to make beautiful" and then to the current sense.
