vi. to reach a destination, especially at the end of a journey
vi. (of time or an event) to come about
vi. (arrive at) to reach a conclusion or decision
The word "arrive" originates from the Vulgar Latin arripare, meaning "to come to shore." It combines ad- (to) and ripa (shore), reflecting the historical context of travelers reaching land after a sea voyage. Over time, its meaning broadened to signify reaching any destination or conclusion. The shift from literal "shore arrival" to abstract "attainment" mirrors the word's journey through Old French (ariver) into Middle English.
