milionésimo

milionésimo is a Portuguese word that means "millionth." It is an ordinal number, indicating the position of something in a sequence of one million. For example, the milionésimo person in line would be the one hundredth person after 999,999 others.

The word is formed by combining "milhão" (million) with the suffix "-ésimo," which denotes an ordinal number. This suffix is common in Portuguese for creating ordinal numbers from cardinal numbers, such as "centésimo" for hundredth or "milésimo" for thousandth.

In numerical form, milionésimo is represented as 1,000,000th. It is used in contexts where precise ordering within a very large set is important. For instance, it might appear in statistical data, scientific measurements, or any situation requiring the identification of a specific item out of a million.

The concept of the millionth is fundamental in understanding large quantities and their ordering. It highlights the granular nature of counting and the ability to pinpoint specific positions even in vast sequences. While not a commonly used word in everyday conversation due to the infrequency of needing to refer to the exact millionth item, it serves a precise linguistic and mathematical purpose.
