からこそ (JLPT N3)

About からこそ

Traditionally, the adverbial particle こそ is used to emphasize whatever noun (or noun phrase) it is attached to. However, when combined with the conjunction particle から, it focuses on emphasizing the 'reason' for something. This structure is very similar to phrases like 'precisely because (A)' in English.

からこそ is an expression that is primarily used after either verbs or nouns. In the case of nouns, the noun will need to be followed by the auxiliary verb だ, before からこそ is added.

With からこそ, there may be several reasons for why something is the way it is, but こそ will show that there is a 'foremost' reason that should be considered before anything else.

This question is not actually regarding からこそ, but regarding one of the example sentences under からこそ, namely this one:

君が励ましてくれたからこそ、ここまでやってこれたんだ。

Specifically, the bold part which, as far as I can tell, is a conjugation of やって来る. I have not seen such a conjugation before, which I assume is from:

くる → これる → これた

From Jisho, the conjugations of くる have ‘potential’ as こられる, which is also the same as for ‘passive’. But nothing for これる.

Is this a special conjugation of くる? A colloquial short-form of こられる? A completely different word?

Most importantly, is it covered in BunPro? And if so, which grammar point? I did a search, but couldn’t find anything that seemed related. The closest thing I found was for ～てくる, but that doesn’t mention this kind of conjugation.
