+ ==Forms==

+ '''arrivo''' ''m'' (plural arrivi)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed from the verb [[arrivare]], as a noun without a suffix.^(DELI 1999)^(Nocentini 2010)^(GRADIT 2003)^(Sabatini–Coletti 2026) The verb, recorded about 1300, comes from [[la-vul|*arripō|alt=*arripāre|t=to reach the shore]], built from [[la|rīpa|t=bank, shore]] with the prefix [[m|la|ad-]]; [[la-med|adrīpō|alt=adrīpāre]] is recorded from 822.^(DELI 1999)^(Nocentini 2010)^(LEI|3, 1387) The same verb is [[fr|arriver]], [[oc|arribar]] and [[ca|arribar]] “to arrive”, and [[es|arribar]] and [[pt|arribar]] “to put into port”.^(Nocentini 2010)^(LEI|3, 1387) Latin [[m|la|rīpa]] goes back to [[ine-pro|*h₁reip-h₂-|t=steep slope]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The first record is in Lionardo Salviati's comedy ''Il granchio'' (1566): “Tosto avrete lettere dell'arrivo di Fortunio” (you will soon have letters about Fortunio's arrival).^(DELI 1999)^(GDLI|1, 692) Before that the infinitive ''arrivare'' served as the noun, in Machiavelli (1525) and Luigi Alamanni.^(LEI|3, 1387)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ Tommaseo explained that the word properly meant reaching one's destination, as a boat reaches the shore, and noted the wish ''felice arrivo'' and the listing of the arrivals and departures of boats and people.^(Tommaseo–Bellini 1861) Writers from Sarpi and Magalotti to Metastasio and Deledda use it for the coming of people and of trains.^(GDLI|1, 692)

+

+ Modern senses include the arrivals side of stations and airports, the goods newly delivered to a shop, and in sport the finishing line and the final stage of a race.^(GRADIT 2003)^(Devoto–Oli 2026)^(Zingarelli 2010) The phrase ''in arrivo'' means “about to arrive”.^(Zingarelli 2010)^(Treccani 2011)
