German term or phrase: entheddern

"Entheddern" must mean "to end", but I can't find it anywhere! Can anyone enlighten me, please?

"Ein wichtiges Jahr für die Kirche, denn das Chaos mit den vielen Päpsten wird in diesem Jahr **entheddert***. Und zwar mit dem Ende des vier Jahre dauernden Konzils von Konstanz."

Many thanks!

10 hrs confidence:

was brought to an end

Explanation:
the other suggestions are also correct, but I wouldn't use them with "chaos". (see my comment on "unravel"). The only problem is that "end" also appears in the next sentence, which means you might have to use another word like "conclusion". Otherwise the word "disentangle" suggested by one of the others could be OK.
