1. sprung up together; arisen; originated; happened; occurred; lit. went up together

Built from

• saṁ — prefix · together
  Brings things into one; here uniting the arising of phenomena in causal nexus. Cognate with English 'same' and Latin similis; works like Latin con-.
• u — prefix · up, out
  Marks upward and outward motion; here the arising or springing forth of conditioned things. Cognate with English 'out' and German 'aus'.
• ppanna — stem · arisen
  Past participle of √pad (to go, fall, arise). Cognate with Latin pes 'foot' and English 'path'; the concrete sense 'stepping, falling' underlies 'arising' or 'coming to be'.

Analysis. saṁ + uppanna: 'together' + 'arisen', lit. 'risen together'; in the compound, saṁ- (bringing things into one) unites with the past participle of uppajjati (upa + √pad, 'springs up'), yielding the sense of phenomena arising in unison or through dependent co-arising.

Etymology. sam- (< Indo-European *sem- 'together', cognate with English 'same', Latin similis) + ud- ('up, out') + √pad ('go, fall'; cognate with Latin pes 'foot', English 'path'). The prefix sam- in Pali doctrine characterizes phenomena bound in dependent origination, while ud- marks the emergence or arising fundamental to the teaching of conditioned becoming.
