Built from
- ud — prefix · up, out
Spatial prefix meaning upward and outward motion. Related to English 'out', German 'aus'. Here it transforms the root's sense from simple standing to standing up or arising.
- √sthā — root · stand
Indo-European root cognate with English 'stand', German 'stehen', Latin 'stāre'. The core image is vertical posture or position.
- -i — ending · 3sg aorist
Third person singular aorist suffix, marking past tense and completion. In this context, the action of arising as a completed event in the past.
Etymology. From ud- (up, out) + √sthā (stand). The prefix ud- reverses the sense: from √sthā "to stand" (English "stand", German "stehen"; Latin stāre), ud- + sthā yields "to stand up", hence "to arise, emerge". Cognate with Sanskrit utthāti.
