  Root expressing spontaneous or natural origin; combined with the prefix creates the sense of manifestation or coming-into-being.

Analysis. ud- (up, out) + pajjati (arises): literally 'sprung up out', expressing the emergence or manifestation of phenomena, especially in doctrinal contexts of dependent origination and the arising of mental states.

Etymology. ud (up, out; cognate with English 'out', German 'aus') + pajjati from √pad (to fall, go); the prefix ud- reverses or intensifies the root sense.
