stand upverb

đứng đậy

Definition of undefined

The phrase "stand up" has roots in Old English, combining the verb "stand" and the preposition "up." It originally meant to rise to one's feet, but evolved to encompass a broader sense of "to take a stand" or "to defend oneself." This metaphorical usage emerged as "stand up" began to describe acts of courage or resistance, ultimately leading to its modern use in comedy as "stand-up comedy." So, the phrase embodies a transition from literal physical action to a more abstract notion of standing strong.
