uprise
Uprise generally means to rise or ascend to a higher position or status. It can also refer to a state of emergence, increasing, becoming more apparent or noticeable. This term can be defined in different contexts as: 1. In the literal sense: to get up, stand erect or to ascend, such as the sun or a tower above the surrounding territory. 2. In a figurative sense: to move upward in terms of social status, power, scale, etc. 3. In politics and social issues, it means to rise in rebellion or revolt against an established authority or government; often used as 'uprising'. Thus, the specific definition can vary, and should be inferred from the context in which it is being used.
