yours
This word is a possessive pronoun used to replace a noun phrase to avoid repetition. It functions as a standalone entity that refers back to something already mentioned, effectively combining the possessive adjective "your" with the object it modifies. For example, instead of saying "my car and your car," one says "my car and yours."
In the context of correspondence, "Yours" serves as a conventional formula for closing letters. Depending on the level of formality and the relationship between the writer and recipient, it is often paired with adjectives such as "faithfully" or "sincerely." In these instances, it functions as a polite sign-off rather than a literal reference to possession.
