Arrival is the act of coming to a place, especially at the end of a journey. It can also mean the appearance of something new or important.
From Old French “arriver” meaning “to reach shore,” from Latin “ad-” (to) and “ripa” (shore). It originally referred to ships reaching land.
The word carries the feeling of finally reaching solid ground after being at sea. That’s why we also talk about the “arrival” of ideas or trends—things that finally show up where we can really see them.
