Fourteenthly

/ˌfɔːrˈtiːnθli/ adverb

Definition

In the fourteenth place or position in a sequence; as the fourteenth point in a list.

Etymology

From 'fourteenth' (ordinal form of 'fourteen') plus the adverbial suffix '-ly' (from Old English '-lice'). Rarely used but constructed following standard English word-formation rules.

Kelly Says

While technically valid, 'fourteenthly' is so rare that most writers avoid it—nobody wants to sound like they're reading a tedious legal document with 14+ points to cover!
