((the seventh one)) ((as subject/object)) The seventh one wins a prize.

Other ordinals: der Sechste (the sixth), der Achte (the eighth). Note: 'der Siebte' is more common today.

From the cardinal number 'sieben' (seven) plus the ordinal suffix '-ter'.

Think of how English adds '-th' to make 'seventh'. German uses '-ter' or '-ster'. 'Sieben' + '-ter' = 'Siebenter'.
