Etymology

The word "fifteenth" combines "fifteen," derived from Old English "fīftīene" (from "fīf" meaning "five" + "tīene" meaning "ten"), with the ordinal suffix "-th," used to form sequence numbers. This follows the Germanic pattern of constructing cardinal numbers (e.g., "five-ten") and adding "-th" to denote order (e.g., "third," "tenth"). The suffix "-th" traces back to Proto-Germanic *-dô and is related to Latin "-tus."
