Aramahoshi is a complete word
The Classical Japanese adjective aramahoshi means desirable or pleasing. The dictionary explains it as ari combined with mahoshi. Despite its opening sound, it is a single word rather than an exclamation beginning with ara.
A compact expression can carry the idea of how you wish things to be.
