年とし強づよ

na-adjective, noun

being older or a senior; the first half of the year

This word has two distinct meanings. The first meaning refers to being older or having seniority. The second meaning, 'the first half of the year', is a rare, archaic usage that is not commonly encountered in modern Japanese. It may appear in historical or literary contexts.
