Present participle of arise; coming into being, occurrence, or notice, often as a result of particular circumstances. Emerging or developing from a specific situation or condition.
From Old English 'arisan,' from 'a-' (up) plus 'risan' (to rise). The compound originally meant 'to get up, stand up,' later extended metaphorically to mean 'to come into existence' or 'to emerge' by the 14th century.
The word beautifully captures the visual metaphor of something 'rising up' into existence - whether it's the dawn arising, a problem arising, or an opportunity arising. In legal and business contexts, 'arising' often signals the emergence of new circumstances that require attention or action.
