Word origin
The word 'arrival' originated from the Latin word 'arrivare', which means 'to reach the shore'. It first appeared in English around the 13th century, primarily used in the context of ships reaching the shore. Over time, the word's usage expanded to include the reaching or coming to a destination, regardless of whether it was by land, sea, or air.
