Etymology: "Upbuilds" is the third-person singular present form of "upbuild," a verb meaning to strengthen or improve by building up. It takes the form it has because of its verb's simple structure: "up-" attached to "build," so "upbuild" does the same job as "build up" in the sense of constructing something that lifts or reinforces a person, group or idea. The "-s" on "upbuilds" is simply the ordinary ending for a verb used with "he," "she," or "it."
