Etymology
Etymology Information

'arising' (from the base verb 'arise') originates from Old English, specifically the word 'ārisan' or 'arisan', where the prefix 'a-' meant 'on' or 'up' and the root 'risan' meant 'to rise'.

Historical Evolution

'arising' developed from Old English 'ārisan'/'arisan' → Middle English forms such as 'arisen'/'arise(n)' and eventually into the modern English verb 'arise' and the present-participle/gerund form 'arising'.

Meaning Changes

Initially it meant 'to get up, to stand up, to come into being'; over time it evolved to the broader modern senses of 'come into being', 'occur', or 'be produced'.
