Morphology

uprise = rise (transparent) = up + rise

The use meaning 'to ascend' (e.g., the sun) is a direct 'up' + 'rise' composition and is inferable.

Etymology

Uprise is built from up and rise, which together mean 'go up'. So when mist, smoke, or sound moves upward, we can say it uprises as it rises into the air.
