365 days. (except in a leap year which has 366 days)
It's always embarrassing when mistaking "years" for "hours" in conversation, but it happens (perhaps because of the similarity between English hour [aʊəʳ], and English year [jɜːr]). Related Greek hōra "year, season, any part of a year," also "any part of a day, hour;" is of no help at all in getting this sorted in anyone's head.
Derived words
- yearly: annual
- year-long: lasting for or throughout the year qui dure pendant une ou tout au long de l' année
- yearling (1-year-old animal)
