Note
A plural that mostly counts people and things: late arrivals, new arrivals, the day's arrivals, where each one is someone or something that has come. It can also count separate occasions of coming, as in frequent arrivals and departures. The more abstract uses of the singular, such as the arrival of a new era or an artist's arrival after years of effort, name a single onset or achievement and rarely take the plural.
