In Spanish 'an~o' = year.

In Latin, the equivale nt is 'annus' (you may remember the Queen speaking of her 'annus horribilis' - horrible year - when there was a fire at Windsor Castle); but Latin is a so-called 'inflected' language. Where English and Spanish use prepositions (to/from/by/with/of/in etc.) to indicate different positions or siutations of the noun in question, Latin changes the ENDING of the noun. Thus 'annus' becomes 'anno' (ablative case) where we would say 'in the year' and the Spanish 'en el an~o'.

So 'anno' means 'in the year' (as in 'Anno Domini' - A.D. - 'In the Year of the Lord')
