The Latin equivalent of the English phrase 'second to one' is the following: secundus, which means 'second'. For that's what the phrase means: holding down the number 2 spot. A common English phrase is as follows: 'second to none'. The Latin equivalent is the following: secundus nemini. The word-by-word translation is as follows: 'secundus' means 'second'; and 'nemini' means 'no one'. The individual who's second to none holds down the number 1 spot. So another way of saying that in English is 'first', with primus as the Latin equivalent.
2nd is the ordinal number secundus in latin
