Morphology

Formed by adding the ordinal suffix '-th' to the cardinal 'thirty-five' (note the regular stem alternation five→fif- in the surface form), so the ordinal meaning is directly derived from the cardinal.

Thirty-fifth comes from joining thirty ('three tens') and fifth (from five, meaning 'the fifth in order'). So, thirty-fifth simply means 'number thirty-five in order', like the thirty-fifth floor or person.
