Where this word comes from
From Ancient Greek ἀνάβασις (anábasis, “a going up, an ascent”), from ἀναβαίνω (anabaínō), from ᾰ̓νᾰ- (ănă-, “up”) + βαίνω (baínō, “to go”). Compare typologically Proto-West Germanic *raisu (“a travel, journey”) (akin to Proto-Germanic *raizijaną (“to cause (someone, something) to rise; raise”)) (<< Proto-Indo-European *h₁rey- (“to rise, arise”)).
