Past tense of arrive, meaning to have reached a destination or achieved a particular status or condition.
From Old French 'ariver' meaning 'to come to shore', from Latin 'ad' (to) plus 'ripa' (shore or riverbank). Originally a nautical term that expanded to describe reaching any destination, not just by water.
The nautical origins of 'arrived' reveal how many of our everyday words about reaching places came from seafaring - we still 'dock' at hotels and have 'ports' of call. The transition from water-specific to general travel terms mirrors humanity's expansion from coastal to inland transportation.
