From annus (“year”) +‎ -ōsus.

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /anˈnoː.sus/, [änˈnoːs̠ʊs̠]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /anˈno.sus/, [änˈnɔːs̬us]

annōsus (feminine annōsa, neuter annōsum); first/second-declension adjective

1. full of years, old, aged
   • 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 2.571:

     ecce anus in mediīs residēns annōsa puellīs

     Behold an old woman, full of years, sitting among girls.
     (A year is an annus; an elderly woman an anus; and here Ovid's rhythmic word-play doubly describes her as being elderly indeed: anus annōsa – an old woman ‘‘long-lived’’ or ‘‘full of years.’’ The position of the word annōsa next to puellīs – that is to say, girls who are ‘‘few of years’’ – emphasizes their contrasting ages and appearance.)

First/second-declension adjective.
