連用形 (ren'yōkei, stem or continuative form) of verb 日立つ (hidatsu), itself a compound of (hi, sun, day) +‎ 立つ (tatsu, stand; pass (as in time); depart, go away). The tatsu changes to datsu as an instance of rendaku (連濁).

Possible cognate with Korean 해돋이 (haedoji, sunrise), a compound of (hae, sun) +‎ 돋다 (dotda, rise; grow).

Sometimes spelled 肥立, replacing (hi, day, a 訓読み (kun'yomi, native Japanese reading)) with (hi, manure, a 音読み (on'yomi, Sino-Japanese reading)).
