What it means
に至るまで means “until” or “as far as,” and emphasizes that a range extends all the way to a particular endpoint or includes even the finest or most extreme detail. It commonly attaches to a noun, especially in patterns such as AからBに至るまで or Nに至るまで. The expression is often used to describe a comprehensive range, sequence, or scope rather than a simple point in time.
Usage note
に至るまで is relatively formal and is especially common in written, academic, journalistic, and explanatory language. Do not confuse it with に至る, which means “to reach” or “to arrive at” and does not necessarily emphasize the full range up to an endpoint.
