What does UPRISE mean in Scrabble?
verb
literary
To get up or move upward, as a person standing from a seat or a sun climbing above the horizon.
Uprise is a literary relative of the everyday rise, used where the writer wants a slightly more solemn or visual effect. It suits scenes of dawn, crowds standing together, or the dead returning to life, and it also exists as a noun for the act of rising. Its past tense is uprose and its participle is uprisen, both of which are rare outside poetry and older fiction.
How UPRISE is used
Literary; found in poetry, scripture-style prose and descriptive fiction rather than in everyday talk.
- The whole congregation will uprise as the procession enters.
- Watch the pale sun uprise over the frozen lake.
- Hills seem to uprise out of the mist at every turn of the road.
