Morphology
42nd = 42 (transparent) = 42 + nd
The ordinal is transparently formed by adding the ordinal marker '-nd' to the cardinal number 42, so its meaning is directly predictable.
Etymology
42Nd is made from the number 42 and the ending -nd, which stands for the word 'second' because the number ends in 2. So 42nd means the thing in the 'forty-second' position, coming after the forty-first and before the forty-third.
