Morphology

uprise = rise (transparent) = up + rise

The abstract sense 'to arise or come into existence' is an extension of 'up' + 'rise' and remains semantically compositional.

Etymology

Uprise comes from up + rise, which can mean 'come up' or 'appear'. So when an idea, feeling, or new situation begins to appear or grow, it is said to uprise.
