Built from
- vi — prefix · apart, asunder
Intensifies the sense of emergence and movement away. Related to Sanskrit dvi- (two); the spatial imagery of things coming apart or moving in different directions underlies the abstract meanings of separation and clarity.
- uṭ — root · stand up
Related to √ṭhā (stand, place). Cognate with English "stand", Latin stāre, Sanskrit sthā. The root carries the image of rising upright.
- tha — stem · stand
Reduced form of √ṭhā used in certain tense and participle formations.
- ita — ending · past participle
Forms a past participle indicating a completed action. Marks the participle as agreeing with a masculine or neuter noun in dative or genitive case (here showing the "person from whom" something has emerged or who has recovered).
Analysis. vi + uṭṭhita; vi- (apart, asunder) + uṭṭhita (past participle of uṭṭhahati, "stand up"), literally "stood up and away", hence emerged or recovered.
Etymology. vi- (apart) + √ṭhā (stand; cognate with English "stand", Latin stāre, Sanskrit sthā). The prefix vi- adds the sense of movement away or emergence: one stands up out of a condition (illness, meditation, offence) and steps apart from it.
