Etymology

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Ultimately derived as: あらわれる ← older あらはる ("to become manifest or apparent spontaneously") ← passive/spontaneous る + あらは ← the 未然形 of あらふ (*"to be being"?) ← iterative/repetitive ふ + あら ← the 未然形 of あり ("to be"). Needs references, defdates, documenting. Also, lemma details might need moving to kana form あらわれる, considering the multiple kanji spellings and nuances.”
