Is this the acronym for piling up?

I am looking for a potential verb that would be something like an antonym for piling up, describing the action of raising a pile from the bottom, specially making the base of the pile wider. How does an algebraic pyramid has its lower/top layers of the structure?

What I should say, after reading the comments, would be something in between “prop up”, “jacking up” and “churning”. The suggestion to use churning reminded me of the tale where a mouse fell into a bucket of milk and desperately began to kick and kick and swim and churn and churn and churn. Until the kicking, swimming and churning turned the milk into cream, and then butter. The mouse climbed up to safety!

Would one say that “the mice was Raised” or “Jacked up” by the butter?

Since adding layers doesn’t happen very often, there is not really a ready phrase for it. Also we’re not sure how to add layers to the bottom of a pyramid. You could use “jacking up,” but that doesn’t imply making the base wider part?

Of a pile of stuff with a hole, the stuff was born and where are more of these stuff? In that case, I’d call it bubbling, churning or otherwise emanating upwards, depending on the nature of the stuff in question.

Edit: After your change of question, I reckon the best word would be:

The mouse was bolstered by the butter.

In general, to append is to join

or add on to the end of something Nothing to indicate that the base was

widening, but there’s no specific word for such a phenomenon. You just have to describe it with multiple words in english. Append, so that the base widened.

If I remember putting all the layers from the bottom up on a pyramid, could I simply add the layers from the bottom up?

Possibilities include:

  • Shore up
  • Prop up
  • Additional support
  • Buttress
  • Reinforce base

Buttress, Reinforce Base support Other Support Buttress The Sea Guard Capocity is 1 to 1 (The Water Guard X).

After your edit, I’d suggest that the mouse was “uplifted” by the butter.

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.
