Definition
The plural of fortieth; multiple items or instances ranked at the 40th position or of size 1/40.
Etymology
From 'fortieth' + '-s' (plural suffix). Adding '-s' creates the plural, allowing 'fortieths' to refer to multiple fractions or multiple items at that ordinal position.
Kelly Says
We rarely pluralize ordinal numbers in English, so 'fortieths' is unusual—but in fractions, it's essential: 'three fortieths' of something equals 3/40.
