Morphology
65th = 65 + th
Standard ordinal formation: the numeral '65' plus the ordinal suffix '-th', so the meaning is directly predictable from the components.
Etymology
The word 65th is the number 'sixty-five' with the small ordinal ending -th, which shows 'position' or order, as in 4th or 10th. So 65th means being 'in the sixty-fifth place' in a list, race, or sequence.
