One monosyllabic entry in The ABC Chinese-English Comprehensive Dictionary (namespace Ci):
►¹dào* 到 {A} v. ①arrive; reach ②go to ◆cov. up until ◆s.v. thoughtful; considerate ◆cmp. completion of verbal action ‖ Nǐ kàn∼ dì-jǐ yè le? 你看∼第几页了? What page have you gotten to? ◆cons. {C} ∼ ...

The Shuōwén Seal form of 到 dào ‘arrive at, up to, until (a point/time/place)’ combines 至(𦤴) zhì ‘up to, until’, and 刂(刀) dāo ‘knife (point/cut)’ (phonosemantic); later wr. 倒 in some senses.
Note: SW glosses 到 with 至 (i.e., 到 is syn. with 至 its semantic determiner); SW also uses 到 for 倒 dǎo/dào ‘fall down; upside down, inverted’, cf. 𠫓(𡿮㐬).
Compare: 至(𦤴) zhì ‘attain/arrive’ (raptor swooping down on prey); 倒 dǎo/dào ‘fall/upside down’ (formerly wr. 到, cf. SW 𠫓/㐬).
Compare: 召, 招 zhào/zhāo ‘call/summon/beckon’ (sb. to come/arrive here); 照(㷖) zhào ‘shine’, 羔(𦍚) gāo ‘lamb’ (all with 刀 phonetic, directly or indirectly).
HDZ: 到 : dào : (SW: 至) 抵达, 达到; 往 (到北京去); 周到, 周密; 欺惑 (欺骗迷惑); (补语) 效果 (想到, 做到); 倒 (dǎo/dào): (颠倒, 倒回; (副词) 反倒, 反而); 道, 说; (副词) 却; (姓)
