darrivée

Darrivée is not a standard French word. It is most often encountered as a nonstandard spelling of d'arrivée, or more rarely as a proper noun in names or fictional titles. In typical usage, the correct forms are arrivée for the noun meaning “arrival” and d'arrivée as the contraction of de + arrivée before a vowel.

In standard French, arrivée is the feminine noun meaning “arrival,” derived from the verb arriver. When de precedes arrivée in a phrase, the preposition contracts to d’ before a vowel, giving examples such as date d’arrivée, heure d’arrivée, or port d’arrivée. The spelling with no space, darrivée, does not reflect the normal orthography and is generally considered incorrect in normal text.

If darrivée appears, it is usually due to a typographical mistake or a stylized choice in a fictional or brand name. In such cases, the term would function as a proper noun rather than a common noun, and its meaning would be determined by the surrounding context rather than by standard grammar.

Overall, darrivée should be treated as a likely error or an exceptional name, with standard references using arrivée and d'arrivée for ordinary language. See also arrivée, d'arrivée, and the general rules of French orthography and contraction.
