Word origin
The word 'arrived' comes from the Old French word 'ariver', which means 'to come to shore'. It can be traced further back to the Vulgar Latin 'ad ripam', which translates as 'to the bank'. 'Arrive' was first used in English in the late 14th century. The evolution of the term reflects the importance of travel, trade, and exploration throughout history, particularly during the Age of Discovery, when the act of reaching new lands became significant. As a verb, it indicates completion of a journey, denoting that one has not only traveled but has also reached their intended destination.
