Come

/kʌm/ verb

To come is to move or travel toward the speaker or toward a place that is being talked about. It can also mean to arrive, happen, or reach a particular state.

From Old English *cuman* “to come, arrive, move with the purpose of reaching,” related to German *kommen* and Dutch *komen*. It goes back to a very old Proto-Germanic root *kwemaną* with the same meaning.
