The bottom left reminds me of 去 so I think about what comes after “to go,” which is “to arrive”

A murder runs through the house holding a knife when they ARRIVE so they are ready to kill.

This character looks like part of an airplane (top left) and a landing platform on the right. This shows the plane is arriving.

The left part of 到 reminds me of both 去 “to go” and 在 “to be in/at” , so if you’re GOING somewhere you’ll be AT, you’re ARRIVING.

The left part is like the character 去 but the two components are switched upside down. So it has a meaning similar to going but in reverse.

I like to “arrive”(upside down of go) sharp (knife radical) on time.

the left side of the character looks like a person walking towards the right and then cant walk anymore because its being stopped by the knife radical. once it stopped, it arrived at its destination.

the left half looks 去 (to go) if it were cut in half by the knife radical on the right side and flipped, reminding me that it’s the end result of going somewhere (to arrive)

The character is based around the knife and the same part as the go character just flipped.
