masu-stem verb + 上げる

As the second part of a compound verb, 上げる means to finish an action completely, often with effort.

It appears in verbs such as 書き上げる, 作り上げる, and 仕上げる.

彼は三日かけて、研究レポートを書き上げた。

He spent three days finishing the research report.

Do not confuse it with directional 上げる; here the focus is completion.

The action is brought all the way up to the finish line.
