词源
Old English -thu, -tho, -th.
▪ I.-th, suffix1a formative of ns.a. from verbs; in some words, as bath, birth, death, math, oath, OTeut., repr. various Indo-Eur. suffixes, as -tos, -tâ, -tis, -tus, in which the t following the stressed syllable regularly became þ in Teutonic; in others, as growth, tilth, going back to ON. or OE.; in others, as blowth, spilth, stealth, of later analogical formation. In many words Indo-Eur. t remained in consequence of its position, or þ was subsequently changed to t: see -t suffix3 a.b. from adjs. (rarely ns.), representing Indo-Eur. -itâ, OTeut. -iþô, Goth. -iþa, OE. -þu, -þo, -þ, with prec. i- umlaut, forming abstract nouns of state: as filth (OE. fýlþ, OS. fūlitha from fúl foul), health, length, mirth, strength, truth; in ME. and also in cognate langs., dearth, depth; of later analogical formation, breadth, sloth (cf. OE. slǽwþ), wealth. In some words of this group, þ has, by phonetic causes, become t, e.g. OE. híehþu, ME. heiȝþe, now height, ON. slægð, ME. sleiȝþe, now sleight: see -t suffix3 b.▪ II.-th, suffix2forming ordinal numbers; in modern literary Eng. used with all simple numbers from fourth onward; representing OE. -þa, -þe, or -oða, -oðe, used with all ordinals except fífta, sixta, ellefta, twelfta, which had the ending -ta, -te; in Sc., north. Eng., and many midland dialects the latter, in form -t, is used with all simple numerals after third (fourt, fift, sixt, sevent, tent, hundert, etc.). In Kentish and O. Northumbrian those from seventh to tenth had formerly the ending -da, -de. All these variations, -th, -t, -d, represent an original Indo-Eur. -tos (cf. Gr. πέµπ-τος, L. quin-tus), understood to be identical with one of the suffixes of the superlative degree. In OE. fífta, sixta, the original t was retained, being protected by the preceding consonant; the -þa and -da were due to the position of the stress accent, according to Verner's Law.The ordinals from twentieth to ninetieth have -eth, OE. -oða, -oðe. In compound numerals -th is added only to the last, as 1/1345, the one thousand three hundred and forty-fifth part; in his one-and-twentieth year.2. Used in works of fiction with preceding dash or hyphen to denote an unspecified ordinal number presented as the name of an unspecified or fictitious regiment.1847Thackeray Van.
