Approximately, as seen before a year (5)

I believe the answer is:

circa

(Other definitions for circa that I've seen before include "About (regarding dates)" , "Around (Latin)" , "Preposition meaning about, usually preceding a date" , "Approximately (Lat.)" , "More or less" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
