What third means
One of three equal parts into which something is divided, or the item in a sequence that comes after the second.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *þridda* or *þæridda*, the ordinal form of three.

The -th suffix marks it as an ordinal number, showing position or sequence rather than quantity.
