, etc. are "Cardinal Numbers." First, second, third
, etc. are "Ordinal Numbers" (which tell Order). "Distributive Numbers" tell how many of each like Singly,Doubly,Triply
and Single,Double,Triple
.
We often get the various -nary terms like binary, ternary, and quaternary
from Latin distributive numbers (bini, terni, quaterni, quini, seni, etc.), with the exception of unary
which comes from their cardinal number one (unus) as opposed to their distributive number one (singuli, which is where singular, single, singularity, etc. come from). Words like primary, secondary, and tertiary
usually come from their ordinal numbers (primus, secundus, tertius, quartus, quintus, etc.).
