What does FIFTH mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Next in order after the fourth; coming immediately before the sixth in a numbered sequence.
Fifth marks the position that comes right after fourth and right before sixth, whether counting people in a race, chapters in a book, or notes in a musical scale. English attaches the ordinal ending to five in an irregular way, unlike the smoother pattern of sixth or seventh. The word can describe a place in a ranking or a fraction, as in a fifth of the total.
