Morphology
3rd = 3 (transparent) = 3 + rd
The ordinal marker 'rd' is a conventional suffix attached to the numeral '3' to form the ordinal notation; the meaning is directly derived from the numeral.
Etymology
3Rd comes from the number three and the word third, which was made to mean 'coming after the second'. So 3rd shows something is in 'position number three' or is the 'third' time.
