In English, Wikipedia says these started out as superscripts: 1 st, 2 nd, 3 rd, 4 th, but during the 20 th century they migrated to the baseline: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th. So the practice started during the Roman. The 4th is next to last or last but one (penultimate). The 3rd is second from (or to) last or last but two (antepenultimate). The 2nd, is third from (or to) last or last but three. According to Google Ngram.
