The verbs arise and arouse are the slightly old-fashioned equivalents of rise and rouse, with the Middle English prefix a-: arise and arouse. "I will arise and go now," said the Irish poet W. B. Yeats (The Lake Isle of Innisfree). Sometimes a person in extreme emotion is said to be aroused (the past participle - which has the same form as the past tense).
- Fowler (1931) regards the transitive use of arise as an example of his first group of malaprops.
- The spelling with -ise "is compulsory" (Burchfield's Fowler, s.v. -ise). Cf its parent word, rise (irregular verb).
'To arise' is an irregular verb. Its forms are given here:
| Base form | past tense | -ed participle | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| arise | arose | arisen | derived from rise |
- This is one of the "the 250 or so irregular verbs" listed in Quirk 1985. The list "contains most of the irregular verbs in present-day English ... but is not meant to be exhaustive, particularly with regard to derivative verbs." AWE has copied most of the entries in that list. The verb 'to arise' belongs to Quirk's Class 4 C a.
