Definition of bring up

bring upphrasal verb

nuôi dưỡng

////

The phrase "bring up" has originated from the Old English word "bryggan," which means "to carry" or "to transport." The term evolved over time and during the early Middle English period, it became "bringen uppe," where "uppe" was added to denote the lifting or rising motion. This form eventually simplified into "bringen," and by the Late Middle English period, the expression "brynge up" replaced it. The modern-day form "bring up" can thus be traced back to the Old English root "bryggan," indicating its origin in the language of early Anglo-Saxon England.
