立得起來的
核心畫面
One picture can be held for the whole word: on its feet, and staying there without help. Nothing is lying flat, folded down or sitting back. A frame that stays up on a desk is the plainest version of it. Move the same picture to people and you get the rest: one performer standing alone in front of a room, a group of workers who stay on their feet so the meeting stays short, two people facing each other and not walking away, and a person who stands up for what is right when it would be easier to sit still. The word came straight from the verb phrase stand up, so the action never left it.

整個字可以想成同一個畫面：站著，而且是自己站著、沒有人扶。不是躺平、不是折下來、也不是坐回去。最單純的版本是一個相框自己立在桌上。把同一個畫面搬到人身上，其他意思就接得起來了：一個人站在台上講笑話、一群人站著把會開得很短、兩個人面對面站著誰也不走開、還有一個人在該站出來的時候真的站出來。它是從動詞片語 stand up 直接轉過來的，所以「站起來」這個動作一直留在字裡面。From the word’s history
The source records stand-up as a deverbal formation from the verb phrase stand up: the two-word action was taken whole and used as an adjective and a noun. That is why every branch of the word still shows someone or something on its feet.
來源資料把 stand-up 記為動詞片語 stand up 的轉品（deverbal）：整個「站起來」的動作被直接拿來當形容詞和名詞用。所以這個字的每一支意思，底下都還看得到那個站著的動作。
Wiktionary via kaikki extract (kaikki:3f6f69a190036ae4:707133445:6232 and :707139677:11403): 「Deverbal from stand up.」
