Forms: Forms (see eight adj. and n.) and Old English -tuða, -teða, -téoða (fem. neut. -ðe), Middle English -teþe, -tenthe, Middle English -teoþe, 1500s -tenth, 1500s– -teenth; from 1500s– the t of eight has been dropped, though some dialects still retain it in pronunciation.

Etymology: Old English eahtatéoða , < eahta, eight adj. and n. + téoða tenth; compare Old Norse áttjándi ; in the other Old Germanic languages this numeral is not recorded. The modern form is < eighteen adj. and n. + -th suffix² (after fourth adj. and n.) which has become the ordinal suffix for all numerals above 3.
