annual
Every twelve months
Annual describes something that happens once a year or lasts for one year.
An annual meeting occurs yearly; an annual salary is what you earn in a year.
Annual plants complete their life cycle in a single growing season, unlike perennials.
As a noun, an annual is a yearly publication or a plant that must be replanted each year: We bought annuals for the flower beds.
