anual

/aˈnwal/ · B2 · adj

yearly, annual

📅 anual = annual: from Latin annus, year, so once a year

Spanish anual and English annual share the Latin root annus, year. The same root gives año (year) and aniversario. Say a-NWAL: the u slides into a w sound and the stress falls on the last syllable.
