+ '''arrivée''' ''f'' (plural arrivées)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is the feminine past participle of [[arriver]] used as a noun.^(DHLF 1992)^(Grand Robert 2005)^(Bloch & Wartburg 1989)^(Petit Robert 2007) The verb, like [[démarrer]], is a sailors' word whose sense widened: it continues [[la-vul|*arrīpō|alt=*arrīpāre|t=to come to shore]], from [[m|la|ad-]] and [[m|la|rīpa|t=bank, shore]] (see [[rive]]).^(DHLF 1992)^(Bloch & Wartburg 1989)

+ Compare [[pro|arribada]] and [[es|arribada]].^(Littré 1873)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Rey dates it to 1527, in the general sense “act of arriving, by whatever means”.^(DHLF 1992)^(Grand Robert 2005)^(Bloch & Wartburg 1989)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is used of the arrival of ships (1596), and of the moment when a person arrives or appears (1680).^(DHLF 1992) Classical writers had ''d'arrivée'' “straight away, on arrival”, as in Montaigne and Amyot, an expression already old-fashioned in the 17th century.^(Littré 1873)^(GLLF 1989) By metonymy it named the place where travellers or runners arrive, with a special sporting sense (the finish, 1860) and ''ligne d'arrivée'' (1903); in technical use it is the pipe through which a fluid arrives (''arrivée d'air, d'essence'').^(DHLF 1992)^(Petit Robert 2007) In African French ''bonne arrivée !'' means “welcome!”.^(DHLF 1992)
