Extending your arm or body to touch or grab something; also arriving at a destination or conclusion.
From Old English 'ræcan,' originally meaning 'to stretch out.' Related to German 'reichen,' it's one of humanity's most fundamental physical actions captured in language.
Reaching is one of the first things babies do, and it's such a basic human motion that almost every language has a word for it—including metaphorical reaching for dreams!
