Asked on March 26, 2021 in Single word requests.
Yes, but why do you want a word to mean expanding from the bottom upwards? I’m not sure if that is technically an antonym of “piling up”
but I suggest billow defined on wordreference as
vb
to rise up, swell out, or cause to rise up. A couple of
synonyms here are “upsurge” and heft up upsurge is a
rapid rise or swelling, while “heft up” means elevate.

Asked on February 27, 2021 in Other.
The word lite here is being used as an antonym to heavy or rather full.
This is a play on the various Android/Mac and iOS applications having either a Lite version (reduced features) or a Full version
As one of many examples http://www.robotask.org/phn/index.html. In
reply
to Jez, light (adj.) meaning not heavy is an alternative spelling, the darling of advertisers, is first recorded 1962.
What does a Japanese Lite stand for? Can you find an older article titled ” The United States Can Become Japan Lite “, so it might not have been invented by the author of this Time piece?
Why should I say that Japan is becoming
a US Lite (non-US at all)?
