upreared

Lifted up tall

Upreared means raised up or lifted high.

The word appears almost exclusively in literary or poetic contexts, describing something that rises or stands erect: The castle upreared its towers against the sky.

As a past participle, it can describe things brought up or nurtured: a child upreared in luxury.

The word sounds archaic in modern speech.
