114th

114th is an ordinal designation used to indicate the 114th occurrence or position in a recurring sequence. It is commonly applied in labeling and indexing across many domains to distinguish a particular instance, such as the 114th session, edition, or unit within a series.

In government and politics, the term is often attached to legislative bodies or sessions. For example, the 114th United States Congress met from January 3, 2015, to January 3, 2017, following elections that year and preceding the 115th Congress. Such labeling helps track the chronology of legislative bodies and their respective terms.

In military and organizational contexts, ordinal numbers appear in unit designations, such as regiments, divisions, or battalions, which may be named with numbers to distinguish them within a larger organization. The use of ordinal numbers in this way is common across many national armed forces and historical periods.

Other uses include geographic or administrative units, sports and cultural events, and anniversaries, where the number marks a specific edition, precinct, or milestone. For instance, a city district, a police precinct, or a recurring festival might be described with an ordinal such as the 114th, indicating its place in a sequence.

Etymologically, 114th follows the standard English ordinal pattern, with the suffix -th applied to the cardinal number 114. In English, ordinals for the first few numbers use different endings (1st, 2nd, 3rd), but the -th ending is used for most larger numbers.
