Etymology: "Upmakings" is simply the plural of "upmaking," a noun meaning the process of making something up or constructing it. Its roots are in the everyday English verb "make" combined with the adverb "up," which gives the sense of building or assembling something, or of inventing something, as in making up a story or a set of facts. The plural form is used when referring to several separate acts or instances of this process, such as distinct inventions or fabrications. Because it is a transparent combination of two common English elements, its history is essentially that of "make" and "up," both of which descend from Old English.
