giving rise to

Leading to; generating

Giving rise to means causing or producing something, especially as a natural consequence or origin.

The phrase suggests emergence rather than deliberate creation: The scandal gave rise to widespread protests.

It typically introduces abstract results—movements, feelings, questions, problems—rather than physical objects.
