'arise' originates from Old English, specifically the word 'ārīsan', where 'ā-' meant 'out' and 'rīsan' meant 'to rise'.

'ārīsan' transformed into the Middle English word 'arisen', and eventually became the modern English word 'arise'.

Initially, it meant 'to get up or stand up', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to emerge or become apparent'.
