Etymology
The word '10th' is derived from the Old English word 'þeodþa,' which is a combination of the numeral 'ten' and the suffix '-th' used to denote ordinal numbers. Throughout history, ordinal numbers have been essential in various cultures for counting and ranking objects, people, or events. The system of numbering has evolved, but the suffix '-th' has remained consistent in English for expressing the position of the number ten in sequences. This numerical adjective has applications in academic contexts, everyday discussions, and in specifying positions in lists, contributing to its usage in modern language.
