upraisings

Upraisings is the plural of uprising, which refers to acts of rebellion or revolt against established authority.

An uprising typically involves a group of people rising up—often suddenly—to challenge or overthrow those in power.

The word carries connotations of popular resistance and collective action, whether peaceful or violent.

The government responded harshly to the upraisings in several provinces.

While uprising and revolt are near synonyms, uprising often suggests a more spontaneous or grassroots movement.
