Sedecim is sex and decem, six and ten, with the x smoothed away in the join; the spelling sexdecim is also found. It is indeclinable: sedecim dierum, sedecim militibus.
The ordinal is sextus decimus, "sixteenth", with both halves declining. Sedecim and septendecim are the last of the teens built by simple addition in the everyday way; after septendecim, Latin starts counting down from twenty instead.
