'completed the course' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'initially able drunken driver' is the wordplay.
'initially' indicates taking the first letters.
'drunken' indicates anagramming the letters.
The initial letter of 'able' is 'a'.
'driver' with letters rearranged gives 'rrived'.
'a'+'rrived'='ARRIVED'
