Webster's 1828 Dictionary
YEAR
n.[G.] 1. The space or period of time in which the sun moves through the twelve signs of the ecliptic, or whole circle, and returns to the same point. This is the solar year, and the year, in the strict and proper sense of the word. It is called also the tropical year. This period comprehends what are called the twelve calendar months, or 365 days, 5 hours, and 49 minutes, within a small fraction. But in popular usage, the year consists of 365 days, and every fourth year of 366; a day being added to February, on account of the 5 hours and 49 minutes.
2. The time in which any planet completes a revolution; as the year of Jupiter or of Saturn.
3. The time in which the fixed states make a revolution, is called the great year.
4. Years, in the plural, is sometimes equivalent to age or old age; as a man in years.
In popular language, year is often used for years. The horse is ten year old.
Sidereal year, the time in which the sun, departing from any fixed star, returns to the same. This is 365 day, 6 hours, 6 minutes, and 11, 5 seconds.
Anomalistical year, the time that elapses from the suns leaving its apogee, till it returns to it, which is 365 days, 6 hours, 14 minutes.
Civil year, the year which nay nation has contrived for the computation of time.
Bissextile or leap year, the year consisting of 366 days.
Lunar year, consists of 12 lunar months.
Lunar astronomical year, consists of 12 lunar synodical months, or 354 days, 8 hours, 48 minutes, 36 seconds.
Common lunar year, consists of 12 lunar civil months, or 354 days.
Embolismic or intercalary year, consists of 13 lunar civil months, and contains 384 days.
Julian year, established by Julius Caesar, consists of 365 days, 6 hours.
Gregorian year, is the Julian year corrected and is the year now generally used in Europe. From the difference between this and the Julian year, arises the distinction of Old and New Style.
Sabbatic year, among the Israelites, was every seventh year, when their land was suffered to lid untilled.
The civil or legal year, in England, formerly commenced on the 25th day of March. This practice continued till after the settlement of America, and the first settlers of New England observed it for many years.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT WORD yearn, long, pine, hanker ■ To yearn for something is to desire it intensely, even though it is difficult or impossible to obtain; recognition of this means that the desire tends to be mixed with sorrow or melancholy (she yearned for her missing father | his ambition was always yearning after the impossible | I yearned to live a semi-bohemian lifestyle ). ■ To long is also to feel a deep desire (she'd longed to hear him whisper that he loved her ), but it may also be used more trivially to say that one very much wants something, especially food or drink, that one is quite likely to get soon (I'm longing for a cup of tea ). ■ To pine is to long for someone or something that one has lost (even though he had a new girlfriend she still pined for him ), and is often used of animals who lose their owners. When used without for, it means to decline mentally or physically as a result of such longing (she was the Major's gundog and had pined badly when her master died ). ■ Hanker is a less formal word than yearn and, compared with long, implies a vaguer, more wistful, or more forlorn desire (it may be that you hanker after some lost love | she had always hankered for a job in uniform | I've been hankering to play country music again ).These notes show fine distinctions in meaning between closely related synonyms to help you find the best word.
