rise

The rise of the tide.

The rise of the working class.

The governor just gave me a rise of two pound six.

The rise of his pants was so low that his tailbone was exposed.

the land rolls gently, so that, upon cresting a low rise or passing a copse of wind turbines, you suddenly spot a lot full of lorries or a complex of gigantic sheds.

Making fun of their football team is one sure way to get a rise from a crowd.

As the rise, i.e. height, of the arch decreases, the outward thrust increases.
