Morphology
43rd = 43 (transparent) = 43 + rd
The ordinal is formed by the standard addition of the ordinal suffix '-rd' to the cardinal numeral; meaning is directly predictable from the base numeral.
Etymology
43Rd is the ordinal form of forty-three and shows order or 'position' in a list. The ending rd comes from the same ending as third, so 43rd means 'in position forty-three', just like third means 'in position three'.
