Morphology
101st = 101 (transparent) = 101 + st
Standard ordinal formation: the cardinal number '101' plus the ordinal suffix '-st' yields the ordinal meaning; this is directly recognizable by learners.
Etymology
101St is read as 'one hundred first' and is made of 101 plus the ending st, the same ending used in first. So, 101st tells the place in a list or order — it means the item that comes after the 100th.
