Etymology
The phrase "to bring up a topic" combines the verb "bring," from Old English "bringan," meaning to carry or convey, with "up," indicating direction or emphasis, and "topic," derived from Greek "topikos," meaning 'of a place.' The phrase figuratively means to carry a subject into the conversation for attention.
