Etymology
The word 'annum' is derived from Latin, where it means 'year'. It has been used in English language since the late 16th century. Originally, it was mainly used in formal or financial contexts, but over time it has become less common in everyday language. However, it is still occasionally used in more formal or literary settings to refer to a year or a 12-month period.
