I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'up' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'eccentric is near' is the wordplay.
'eccentric' indicates an anagram.
'is'+'near'='isnear'
'isnear' is an anagram of 'ARISEN'.

'having come' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
