Also represented by the abbreviations 90th, 90^th, xcth, xc^th, XCth, XC^th, and variants.

Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: < the Germanic base of nine 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 nítugandi (Icelandic nítugasti , with suffix substitution (compare -est suffix), probably after Middle Low German), Old Swedish niotighinde , (with alteration after the cardinal form) niotiende (Swedish nittionde ). Some forms in English (including the modern standard form) apparently show apparent re-formation after ninety adj. and -eth (see -th suffix²).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 West Frisian njoggentichste , Middle Dutch negentichste (Dutch negentigste ), Middle Low German negentegeste , Old High German niunzugōsto (Middle High German niunzegest , German neunzigste ). In Old English (and Middle English) there is partial formal overlap with nineteenth adj.; compare Old English forms in -tēoþa , and parallel forms of other decad ordinals (e.g. Old English feowerteoða at fortieth adj. α. forms, sixteoða at sixtieth adj. and n. Forms, early Middle English seofenteoða at seventieth adj. and n. α. forms, etc.). However, confusion is unlikely to have occurred in practice as the numerals would have been disambiguated by context, (perhaps) by stress, and (with the decads 70-90) by use of the prefix hund- hund n. 2. See further F. von Mengden Cardinal Numerals (2010) 128. In Old English the prefixed form hundnigontigoþa , in the same sense (see hund n. 2), is more commonly attested.

The ordinal numeral corresponding to the cardinal numeral ninety. Also written 90th.

A. adj.

Next in order after the eighty-ninth; that is number ninety in a series.
