third person singular present of rise; moves upward or increases in level, amount, or degree
From Old English risan, from Proto-Germanic *risanan, related to German reisen 'to travel'
Interestingly, 'rise' and 'raise' are often confused, but 'rise' is intransitive (the sun rises) while 'raise' needs an object (raise your hand). Think of it as things that rise do it themselves!
