A year, especially as used in dating documents or historical events; Latin phrase meaning 'in the year of.'
From Latin 'annus' (year). Often appears in the phrase 'anno Domini' (in the year of the Lord) abbreviated as 'A.D.' for dating Christian era dates.
When someone writes 'anno 1492,' they're using a Latin word that people stopped actively speaking 1,500 years ago—it's a ghost of the Roman Empire still dating our history!
