Corrive

/kəˈraɪv/ verb

Definition

To arrive together or at the same time; to meet or converge at the same location.

Etymology

From Middle French 'corrive,' combining Latin 'cor-' (together) and 'rivus' (to come or arrive), though this etymology is uncertain and the word may have been influenced by 'arrive.'

Kelly Says

This delightfully obscure verb hints at a world of precise temporal language—before the industrial age, societies needed ways to describe the remarkable phenomenon of multiple people arriving at the same moment.
