thirdly

Word Origin Third comes from three, with the -th suffix (like fourth, fifth). Thirdly is the adverb: 'in the third place'. The PIE root *trei- 'three' gives us three, third, thirty, etc. The -ly is from Old English -līċe 'like'. So thirdly is just the ordinal adverb. Related: third, thirty, thirteenth.
