Where this word comes from

From Proto-Celtic *atikā, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂et-i-keh₂, from *h₂et- (“to go”), and cognate with Old Irish athach, Latin annus (“year”), Gothic 𐌰𐍄𐌰𐌸𐌽𐌹 (ataþni, “year”), and Sanskrit अतति (atati, “he goes”). In all branches except Indo-Iranian, the root underwent a semantic specialization of "go" > "going of time" > "time, season".
