The words 'year', 'hour' and 'horoscope' all derive from the same root.
'Year' was inherited from a Proto-Germanic word that came from the same Proto-Indo-European root as Ancient Greek 'hōrā' (year; time; hour).
Via Latin and Old French, 'hōrā' became 'hour'.

@klefstadmyr @yvanspijk What ist your word for 'hour'? Danish (and the other North Germanic languages) here seems closer to German than Dutch, although both German and Dutch are West Germanic.
@shukugawarablog @klefstadmyr 'Time', from the same Proto-Germanic word as 'time'.
