Pronunciation: [ˈe͡ɪti sˈɪksθ] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "eighty sixth" can be a bit tricky. The IPA phonetic transcription for this word is /ˈeɪti sɪksθ/. The first part, "eɪti," represents the sound of "ay" as in "day," followed by "sɪks," which corresponds to the sound of "sicks." The last part, "θ," is the voiced "th" sound like in "thick." So, "eighty sixth" is spelled as "8" followed by "y" and "s-i-x-t-h."
Eighty sixth is an ordinal number that indicates the position of something in a series or sequence. It is derived by combining the numerals 80 and 6.
In numerical terms, eighty sixth represents the number that comes immediately after eighty fifth and right before eighty seventh. It is the word used to describe the item or element that holds the position 86 in a series of objects or occurrences.
The term eighty sixth can be used to refer to a wide range of things, such as an item in a list, a person's age in a family, the place or ranking in a competition, or the clock time in a day. In any context, eighty sixth is always associated with the position that is 86th in line, following a counting or ordering system.
As with other ordinal numbers, eighty sixth can also be written numerically as "86th" or "86ᵗʰ". When used in a sentence, it is common to see it written in its numerical form alongside the written word, such as "The eighty sixth day of the year is March 27th." or "She came in eighty sixth place in the race."
The word "eighty-sixth" is not an etymological term in itself as it is a combination of two separate words, "eighty" and "sixth". However, we can examine the etymology of these individual words:
1. Eighty: The word "eighty" comes from the Old English term "eahtatig", which is a combination of "eahta" (eight) and "-tig" (a suffix indicating groupings of ten). This Old English term evolved into "eighti" in Middle English before taking its current form, "eighty", in Modern English.
2. Sixth: The word "sixth" is derived from the Old English term "siexta". It is believed to have originated from the Middle Dutch word "sēxta" or the Old Norse word "sexti".
