Morphology
120th = 120 (transparent) = 120 + th
Regular ordinal formation from the cardinal number '120' with the productive suffix '-th', so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
120Th is made by adding the ending -th to one hundred twenty, and the -th part shows 'position' or 'order'. You can see the same -th in words like fourth and twentieth, so 120th means the thing that comes after the 119th in a list.
