SIXTH

What sixth means

The ordinal number matching the position or rank of six in a sequence or order.

Where the word comes from

From Old English *syxta*, formed by adding the ordinal suffix *-ta* to *six* (six). The base *six* comes from Proto-Germanic *seks*, which derives from Proto-Indo-European *s(w)eks*, the same root that gave Latin *sex* and Greek *hex*. The ordinal pattern matches similar formations in Germanic languages like German *sechst*.
