Etymology
The term 'debt-rising' is a modern English compound word formed by combining 'debt' and 'rising'. 'Debt' originates from Latin 'debitum', meaning 'something owed', and 'rising' comes from Old English 'rīsan', meaning 'to rise'.
'Debt' evolved from the Latin 'debitum' through Old French 'dette', while 'rising' has remained relatively unchanged from its Old English form 'rīsan'.
The term 'debt-rising' has consistently referred to the increase in owed amounts, with no significant change in meaning over time.
