UK: əˈraɪz | US: əˈraɪz
vi. to come into being or begin to be noticed
vi. to get up from sitting, lying, or kneeling
vi. (of a problem or opportunity) to emerge or occur
The word "arise" originates from Old English ārisan, combining the intensive prefix ā- (meaning "up" or "out") with rīsan ("to rise"). This reflects the literal sense of moving upward, later extending metaphorically to concepts like problems or opportunities "coming up." The prefix a- reinforces the directional aspect, while rise retains its core meaning of upward motion. Over time, "arise" shifted from physical movement to abstract emergence.
