The word "brighter" is derived from the Old English word "briht", meaning "shining" or "clear". This term can be traced back further to the Proto-Germanic word "berhtaz". The Old English word "briht" eventually developed into "bright" in Middle English, and the comparative form "brighter" emerged. The root of this word is related to the Old Norse word "bjartr" and the Old High German word "beraht", both with similar meanings.
