1. risen above; emerged (from); lit. went up together

Built from

• sam — prefix · together, with
  Things brought into one unified motion or state. Cognate to Latin con- and English same.
• ud — prefix · up, out
  Upward and outward motion. Cognate to English out and German aus.
• gat — root · go
  Motion through space. Cognate to English go, Sanskrit gacchati, Latin gressus.
• a — ending · past participle
  Forms the past participle in nominative or oblique stem; here the stem is in accusative/dative/genitive concord.

Analysis. sam- (together, with) + ud- (up, out) + gata (gone). The prefix sam- draws the motion upward into unified movement; ud- adds the sense of rising or emerging; gata is the past participle of gacchati 'goes'. Hence literally 'gone up together', expressing emergence from or rising above a state or place.

Etymology. sam + ud + √gam (go). The spatial imagery of rising together (sam, 'together' + ud, 'up') combines to mean rising above or emerging. Cognates: English 'go', Sanskrit gacchati, Latin gressus (step). The prefix sam- mirrors Latin con- and Greek syn-; ud- matches English 'out'.
