Root Explanation

Upflow → It is formed from "up" (meaning in a higher position or direction) and "flow" (from Old English "flowan", meaning to flow or move). The word "upflow" describes the movement of something flowing upwards.

Memory Tip

Think of something moving 'up' in position and 'flowing' like water — that's why upflow means a flow that goes upwards.
