1. getting up; arousing oneself; lit. standing up

Built from

• ud — prefix · up, out
  Upward and outward motion. Cognates: English out, German aus.
• sthā — root · stand
  Cognates: English stand, Latin stāre, Sanskrit sthā; the root appears as -ṭhah- through Pali phonetic change sth > ṭṭh.
• -anta — ending · present participle
  Marks a present active participle in the masculine or neuter; here inflected in dative or genitive singular.
• -o — ending · dat./gen. sg.
  Final inflection for dative or genitive singular, masculine or neuter.

Etymology. ud- (up, out) + √sthā (stand), cognate with English stand, Latin stāre; ud- reverses the static sense to motion upward and away. The geminate -ṭṭh- arises from the cluster sth becoming retroflex in Pali.
