Quindecim is quinque and decem squeezed together, five and ten. Like the other cardinals from four to a hundred it never changes: quindecim dierum, quindecim navibus.
The ordinal is quintus decimus, "fifteenth". Rome had a priestly college called the quindecimviri, the Board of Fifteen, who kept the Sibylline books and were consulted when the state was frightened enough to want a prophecy.
