arrive

Reach your destination

To arrive is to reach a destination or endpoint: We arrived at the hotel around midnight.

Extended to abstract goals, arriving means achieving success or recognition: After years of struggle, she had finally arrived.

Things also arrive—packages, moments, conclusions: The day of reckoning has arrived.
