Saying that words are arbitrary symbols means that there is no inherent connection between the sounds or letters of a word and its meaning; the relationship is based purely on social convention. For instance, the word "dog" does not resemble the animal it refers to, and different languages use entirely different sounds to convey the same concept. This arbitrariness allows for a vast diversity of languages and expressions across cultures. Ultimately, meaning is created through shared understanding among speakers rather than through any intrinsic link between words and what they signify.

Why can not be a language fully arbitrary?
Because it would be incomprehensible. Take all the sounds that people are capable of making, make sound bites out of them and randomly associate them. What do you have? Meaningless noise. It is because we learn which sounds not to make, which combinations of sounds do not make words, and which combinations of words do not make coherent sentences, and to discard the meaningless sounds, words, and sentences that we are able to use language at all. For example, your question does not use proper grammar, but an English speaker automatically corrects it to say "Why can a language not be fully arbitrary?" It's wrong but not arbitrary, because it is close to the correct sentence. Had you written "Language not be a fully arbitrary can why?" it is so wrong that nobody would understand it.
