β. Middle English fourtiand (northern).

γ. 1500s fourtyest.

Also represented by the abbreviations 40th, 40^th, xlth, xl^th, XLth, XL^th, and variants.

Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: < the Germanic base of four adj. + a variant of the Germanic base of tenth adj. showing voicing of *h to *g (by Verner's Law; see further discussion of form types at tenth adj.). Compare Old Icelandic fertugandi , (late) fertugasti (with suffix substitution, compare -est suffix, probably after Middle Low German; Icelandic fertugasti ), Old Swedish fiuratighunde , fyretighinde (Swedish fyrtionde , with alteration after the cardinal form), Old Danish føretiughende , føretiwende (Danish fyrretyvende ). Some forms in English (including the modern standard form) apparently show re-formation after forty adj. and -eth (see -th suffix²).West Germanic parallels. Forms in the continental Germanic languages appear typically to show re-formation after the respective cardinal form, with different suffixation (superlative: see -est suffix), as Old Frisian fiūwertichsta (West Frisian fjirtichste ), Old Dutch fiertigist (Middle Dutch viertichste , Dutch veertigste ), Old Saxon fiuwartigisto (Middle Low German vērtichste ), Old High German fiorzugōsto (Middle High German vierzigeste , German vierzigste ). Variant forms. The β. forms probably show early Scandinavian influence, perhaps facilitated by early forms of some lower ordinal numerals with -nd ; compare the γ-forms at tenth adj. and the discussion at that entry. Compare also the β. forms at twentieth adj. and n. The γ. forms probably reflect Dutch influence; compare e.g. the γ. forms at twentieth adj. and n. Such forms are often found in texts printed by Caxton and de Worde, who both had connections with the Netherlands. In Old English and Middle English there is partial formal overlap with fourteenth adj.; compare discussion at sixtieth adj. and n.

The ordinal numeral corresponding to the cardinal numeral forty adj. and n. the fortieth man: one man in forty. fortieth part: one of forty equal parts into which a quantity may be divided. Also absol. and quasi-n.
