Morphology

arise = rise (semi-transparent) = a + rise

The connection to 'rise' is clear, but the sense 'begin to exist or happen' is a conventional figurative extension rather than a fully literal composition.

Etymology

Arise comes from the parts a- meaning 'up' and rise meaning 'to come up'. So when a problem or chance arises, it 'comes up' or begins to exist.
