Signal edge
In electronics, a signal edge is a transition in a digital signal either from low to high (0 to 1) or from high to low (1 to 0). It is called an "edge" because the square wave which represents a signal has edges at those points.
A rising edge is the transition from low to high. It is also named positive edge. When a circuit is rising edge-triggered, it becomes active when its clock signal goes from low to high, and ignores the high-to-low transition.
