Origin:
The word "upper" is derived from a Proto-Germanic root that means "high" or "lofty." This root is also found in the words "up," "over," and "above."
In Old English, "ūfera" was the comparative form of "ūfe," which meant "higher." It was used to describe something that was located at a higher position or elevation than something else. Over time, the word "upper" came to be used more generally to describe anything that was considered to be superior in rank, position, or quality.
