Origin of the word go up

"Go up" is a phrasal verb, meaning it combines a verb ("go") with a preposition ("up"). The origin lies in the literal meaning of "up," referring to movement in a vertical direction. The verb "go" has Germanic roots, while "up" comes from Old English.

These figurative uses are rooted in the literal sense of physical movement upward.
