Etymology
The noun *arrivé* comes from the past participle of the verb *arriver*, which entered French in the 12th century from Latin *arrivāre* (ad + rivāre “to reach, come to a river or endpoint”). The Latin root is related to *rivus* “river”, originally meaning “to arrive at a river”, later generalized to “reach any place.” In Modern French, *arrivé* is used both for a person who has arrived and for the event of arriving, with the noun form standard since the 17th century.
