Morphology
32nd = 32 (transparent) = 32 + nd
Regular ordinal formation: the cardinal numeral plus the ordinal suffix '-nd' yields the expected ordinal meaning.
Etymology
The word 32nd comes from the number thirty-two plus the ending -nd, the same ending you see in 2nd, and it is used to show position. So 32nd means 'in the thirty-second position' in a race, chapter list, or order.
