Built from

• idha — root · here
  Locative form of idam (this). Anchors the whole expression to present embodied existence.
• upa — prefix · near, up close
  Spatial: approach and intimacy. Works here to intensify the sense of fresh arrival or onset of rebirth in this immediate realm.
• pa — prefix · forth, forward
  Intensifying prefix that strengthens the sense of emergence or appearance.
• panna — stem · fallen, arrived
  Past participle stem of pappati (falls, arrives, is born), itself from √pad 'fall'. Carries the sense of sudden onset or taking a new station.
• o — ending · nominative masculine singular
  Marks the subject in direct statement; -ti in sandhi form idhūpapannoti extends the utterance into a citation or narrative frame.

Analysis. idha (here) + upa (up close, near) + papanna (fallen into, arrived at), forming a locative-existential compound: 'fallen into [existence] here'; the -ti ending marks citation or narrative continuity.

Etymology. idha from the locative stem of idam (this); upa- and papanna from pappati 'falls, arrives' (√pad 'fall'), with upa- signifying the intimate arrival or onset (near and present). The spatial imagery of upa- 'up close to, near' compounds with the motion of falling into rebirth, producing the sense of fresh appearance in this realm.
