  There are two steps involved: 1) set up domain mapping on WordPress.com to point to your content and 2) change the name servers at the registrar where you purchased the domain. Here’s the guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  Once you’ve made the changes, it may take up to 72 hours for them to fully spread around the internet. During that time your domain name may become temporarily inaccessible.
