Morphology
26th = 26 (transparent) = 26 + th
The suffix '-th' is the regular ordinal marker on the cardinal 26, so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
26Th comes from the number twenty-six, which is 'two tens and six', and the ending -th turns a number into a place in an order, like first or second. So the 26th means 'the position number twenty-six'.
