sprung up
Rose from nowhere
Sprung up describes something that has appeared or emerged suddenly, often unexpectedly.
Plants sprung up after the rain, businesses sprung up along the new highway, or rumors sprung up about the celebrity's private life.
The phrase emphasizes rapid, seemingly spontaneous emergence rather than gradual development.
New coffee shops have sprung up all over the neighborhood.
