To rise up or surge forth; an archaic or poetic term for sudden emergence or uprising.
From Latin 'exurgere' (to rise up), composed of 'ex-' (out) + 'urgere' (to push or drive). This Latin root is also related to 'urgent' and 'surge,' all sharing the sense of pushing outward.
This rare verb connects to a whole family of 'urgent' words that all stem from the Latin sense of pushing—when things exurge, they literally push their way out with force, which is why it sounds so dramatic.
