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