Definition

1. Adjective:
   • Being the ordinal number corresponding to the cardinal number one hundred seventy-five: This word indicates position or order in a sequence, specifically the position that follows the hundred-and-seventy-fourth and precedes the hundred-and-seventy-sixth.

Usage

• The word "hundred-and-seventy-fifth" is used exclusively as an ordinal adjective. It modifies a noun to specify its numerical order in a series.
• It is typically written with hyphens when used as a single compound adjective before a noun. In some styles, especially for very large numbers, it may be written without hyphens (e.g., "one hundred seventy fifth"), but the hyphenated form is standard for clarity.

Examples

• Adjective:
  • She celebrated her hundred-and-seventy-fifth birthday with a large party. (This describes the specific birthday in the sequence.)
  • The hundred-and-seventy-fifth page of the manuscript was missing. (This specifies the exact page by its order.)
  • He finished in hundred-and-seventy-fifth place in the marathon. (This indicates his ranking in the race.)

Advanced Usage

• In formal lists and sequences: Used in legal, historical, or technical documents to precisely identify an item, such as an amendment, a volume, or an anniversary.
  • The hundred-and-seventy-fifth anniversary of the university's founding.
• Mathematical notation: In ordinal form, it can be represented as "175th".

Variants and Related Words

• One hundred seventy-fifth: An alternative, less common phrasing with the same meaning.
• 175th: The standard numerical abbreviation for "hundred-and-seventy-fifth".
• Cardinal form: One hundred seventy-five (175). This indicates quantity, not order.

Synonyms

• 175th: The direct numerical synonym.
• (No true conceptual synonyms for ordinal numbers exist, as they denote a specific, unique position.)

Antonyms

• (Ordinal numbers do not have direct antonyms. The opposite in a sequence would be context-dependent, e.g., "first" or "last".)

Notes

• This is a compound ordinal number formed by combining the cardinal number "one hundred seventy-five" with the ordinal suffix "-th".
• For numbers ending in 1, 2, or 3, the suffix changes (e.g., 171st, 172nd, 173rd). The number 175 ends in 5, so it correctly takes the "-th" suffix.
