Arise; spring (from) (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

originate

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'arise' is the first definition.
(I know that arise can be written as originate)

'spring from' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for originate that I've seen before include "Invent" , "In spring" , "Cause to begin, be the first" , "Create, initiate" , "Stem" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
