I would interpret it as ‘n’ stands for “number” and ‘th’ is to make it an ordinal number, like fourth, fifth or sixth.

nth-of-type(n) selector allows you to select one or more elements based on their source code,according to our need.
It is defined in the CSS Selectors Level 3 as “Structural Pseudo Class”-meaning it is used to style content based on its relationship with parent and sibling elements.
Ex:
p:nth-of-type(5) {
color: red;
}
So here Fifth paragraph will have color red.
