The word 赶来 is formed by combining the character 赶, which depicts the idea of rushing or hastening (originally from the concept of "driving" animals forward), with the character 来, which pictographically represents a stalk of wheat and means "to come". Together, they visually and conceptually merge into a single action: the act of "coming" is infused with the manner and effort of "rushing", creating a compound that conveys arriving specifically through hurried or purposeful movement, as if one is pushing forward to reach a destination.
