Nguồn gốc từ
From Middle English tenth, tenthe. Old English - had tēoþa (origin of Modern tithe), but the force of analogy to the cardinal number "ten" caused Middle English speakers to recreate the regular ordinal and re-insert the nasal consonant. Ultimately from Proto-Germanic *tehundô. Equivalent to ten + -th.
