Morphology

upsurgence = upsurge (transparent) = up + surge + ence

The word is transparently based on 'upsurge', with '-ence' forming a noun that preserves the sense of a sudden rise or increase.

Etymology

Upsurgence combines up ('rising') and surge ('a sudden strong movement'), just like the word surge. So an upsurgence is an image of a quick rise in numbers or support, a sudden increase.
