The word "upraises" is derived from the combination of two separate words: "up" and "raises".
The word "up" originated from Old English "ūp", which has cognates in various Germanic languages. It was derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*ūp", meaning "up" or "upward".
The word "raises" is derived from the verb "raise", which came from Middle English "raisen" and Old Norse "reisa". "Raise" is rooted in the Proto-Germanic word "*raizijan", meaning "to raise" or "to cause to rise".
When combined, "upraises" essentially means "to raise up" or "to cause to go upward".
