third: [OE] Third goes back ultimately to an Indo- European *tritjos, an ordinal derivative of the base that produced English three. Amongst its other descendants were Greek trítos, Latin tertius (source of English tertiary [16]), Russian tretij, Polish trzeci, Latvian trešais, and Welsh tryddydd. In prehistoric Germanic it became *thrithjaz, which has evolved into German dritte, Dutch derde, Swedish and Danish tredje, and English third.
