Dozenth

/ˈdʌzənθ/ adjective

Definition

The ordinal number corresponding to twelve; coming in position number twelve in a series.

Etymology

From 'dozen' plus the ordinal suffix '-th,' which converts cardinal numbers (twelve) into ordinal numbers (twelfth/dozenth). Reflects English grammar patterns for ranking and sequencing.

Kelly Says

We usually say 'twelfth,' not 'dozenth,' which shows how English has two different number systems fighting each other—one from Old English (twelfth) and one from French (dozenth)!
