Definition of raised

raisedadjective

nâng lên

/reɪzd//reɪzd/

The word "raised" originates from the Old English word "ræsan," meaning "to tear, to pluck, to snatch." It evolved through Middle English "reisen" and "raysen," and eventually "raised" in the 14th century. It's connected to the concept of "lifting" or "bringing up," reflecting the idea of something being "taken up" from a lower position. The word retains its literal sense of physical elevation, but has also developed abstract meanings like "brought up" in terms of upbringing, or "increased" in terms of value.
