The word "uplifts" is derived from the verb "uplift", which combines the prefix "up-" indicating direction or movement upward with the root word "lift". The term "lift" originated from Middle English "liften", which came from Old Norse "lypta" meaning "to raise or lift".

The plural form "uplifts" simply signifies multiple instances of uplifting or raising.
