The word "each" originated in Old English as "ǣlc", which meant "ever_each" or "all" and is derived from the Old English words "ā" (ever) and "ēlc" (each). "Each" can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "*aiw-", meaning "ever" or "always". The word "year" comes from the Old English word "ġēar", which can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "*jǣram". This etymology suggests that "each year" likely developed over time as a combination of the Old English words for "ever_each" or "all" and "year".
