🌳Etymology

Origin

From Middle English 'given' (to give, from Old English 'gifan') and 'risen' (to rise, from Old English 'rīsan'). This is a phrasal combination that emerged in English to express causation through the metaphor of something 'rising up' or 'coming into being' as a result of an action.
