Octoginta is octo plus the -ginta ending of the tens, and it never changes: octoginta dierum, octoginta militibus.
The ordinal is octogesimus, "eightieth", and the adjective octogenarius, "of eighty years", gives English octogenarian. Romans who reached it were rare enough to be remarked on; Cato the Elder was still making prosecution speeches at eighty-five.
