Latin · Etymology
Proposed to derive from Proto-Italic * atnos , from Proto-Indo-European * h₂ét-no- , probably from * h₂et- ( “ to go ” ) . Cognate with Oscan akno- ( “ year, holiday, time of offering ” ) ; Umbrian acnu ( “ years ” ) ; and Gothic * 𐌰𐌸𐌽 ( * aþn ) or * 𐌰𐌸𐌽𐍃 ( * aþns , “ year ” ) , attested in 𐌰𐍄𐌰𐌸𐌽𐌹 ( ataþni , “ year ” ) . Displaced Proto-Indo-European * wétos in the sense "year."
For the root, compare Sanskrit अतति ( atati , “ he wanders, goes ” ) . For a comparable case of * -tn- yielding a geminate -nn- , see penna ( “ feather ” ) , from Proto-Italic * petnā .
