uprear

Lift up vertically

To uprear is to raise up or lift, especially something large or imposing: The horse upreared on its hind legs.

The word appears most often in literary or poetic contexts, describing things that rise majestically: Mountains upreared against the sky.

It can also mean to raise or nurture young, though this sense is archaic.
