Etymology
The term "the arrival" comes from the verb 'arrive,' which originates from the Old French 'arriver,' meaning 'to reach a shore' or 'to come to.' This traces back to the Late Latin 'arripare,' combining 'ad-' (to) and 'ripa' (shore). Originally related to ships reaching land, it naturally extended to aircraft reaching airports.
