Arrivism

/ˈærɪvɪzəm/ noun

Definition

The practice or principle of seeking success or social advancement by any means necessary; ruthless pursuit of status.

Etymology

From 'arrive' plus the ideological suffix '-ism,' possibly influenced by French 'arrivisme.' It suggests a worldview centered on achieving success above all else.

Kelly Says

The Victorians coined 'arrivism' as criticism of people who'd suddenly climbed the social ladder—it meant you could never be truly 'arrived' because the whole point was keep climbing, making it a surprisingly modern anxiety about status that still exists today.
