The phrase "came ashore" consists of two individual words: "came" and "ashore".
The word "came" is the past tense of the verb "come". It originated from the Old English word "cuman", which means "to move or advance toward a specific place". Over time, "cuman" evolved into the Middle English word "comen" and eventually transformed into "came" in Modern English.
The word "ashore" is an adverb that describes the action of coming to or reaching the shore from the water. It can be broken down into two parts: "a-" and "-shore". The prefix "a-" often indicates direction or coming to a particular place, while "shore" refers to the land bordering a body of water. "Shore" stems from the Old English word "sceoru", meaning "ocean edge or bank".
