The act of arrival; goods that have recently arrived at a port or market.
From French 'arrivage,' derived from 'arriver' meaning to arrive, plus the suffix '-age' meaning action or result. It entered English from commercial and shipping terminology.
In medieval and early modern trade, merchants used 'arrivage' as a legal term—the moment goods officially 'arrived' determined when they became taxable and when contracts took effect, so the word meant money in terms of commerce.
