EN: riser; for raising/increasing
The general term for anything that gives you a "lift." It could be a heel insert for the vertically-challenged, a growth supplement like Cherifer, or the yeast that makes your pandesal rise. In the office, it's that "pampataas ng morale" pizza party after a stressful week. In the market, it's the "pampataas ng presyo" due to inflation.
From 'pam-' (for) + 'pa-' (causative) + 'taas' (high, up).
ROOT MEANING: height; upper part; upstairs
A very general term. Context is key. It can be for height, price, morale, level, etc.
