get up, arise

get up, arise
These words mean the same thing,"to sit up or stand," "to ascend or move upward": "Get up and move." "Arise and eat breakfast." Arise has the additional meaning of "to come into being," "to spring up": "New problems seem to arise every day." In the sense of sitting up or standing, arise is less often used than rise, but both words are correct, and both are considered somewhat more formal and refined than get up. Spelled as one word or hyphenated, getup (or get-up) is an informal and not-recommended term for costume, style, outfit, overall arrangement, and format: "You look silly in that getup." "What is the getup of our new assignment?"
