Morphology

upriser = uprise (transparent) = up + rise + er

The agentive '-er' on 'uprise' forms a straightforward noun meaning 'one who rises', which matches the literal sense of getting up.

Etymology

Upriser is built from up- and rise, which mean 'up' and 'to get up'. Like an 'early riser' who wakes at sunrise, an upriser is a person who gets up or stands up, often early in the day.
