What does NINTH mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Next after eighth in a sequence; coming in position number nine.
Ninth marks the ninth item, event, or position in an ordered series, whether counting years, floors, runners in a race, or notes in a musical scale. In dates it names the ninth day of a month, as in the ninth of May, and in sport commentary it can mark the ninth inning or the ninth hole on a golf course. The word also works as a noun for a fraction, meaning one part out of nine equal parts, as in a ninth of the total. Because ordinal numbers describe order rather than quantity, ninth always answers the question which one, not how many.
How NINTH is used
Ordinal number; used both as an adjective (the ninth chapter) and as a noun for a fraction (a ninth of the pie).
- She finished the race in ninth place.
