- ud — prefix · up, out
Upward and outward motion. Cognates: English "out", German "aus". Here the concrete sense of rising or springing up becomes the figurative sense of arising or coming into being.

√pad in weak grade becomes √pa. Cognates: English "foot", Latin "pes", Greek "pod-" (podium). The root denotes motion or the act of moving.
- nna — ending · past participle
The -nna ending (or -anna after short syllables) marks the past participle. It forms an adjective from the verb indicating a completed action.
Etymology. ud + √pad (go), with assimilation: ud-panna > uppanna. The prefix ud- (up, out, upward) combines with the root √pad (√paj in weak grade), which appears in English "foot" and Latin "pes". The sense is literal: "gone up", "sprung up", whence "arisen".
