Morphology

uplifted = uplift (transparent) = up + lift + ed

Formed from the verb 'uplift' + -ed; 'uplift' itself is transparently 'up' + 'lift', and the adjective sense 'emotionally elevated' follows directly.

Etymology

Uplifted comes from the parts up and lift, which mean 'lift up', like when you raise something off the ground. So to feel uplifted is to have your spirits raised and to feel happier or more proud.
