"a fifty" (speaking of a group of 50 units) is the English equivalent of the French word cinquantaine.
ex: il y aura une cinquantaine de personnes au repas (there were be about fifty people for the meal) - c'est à une cinquantaine de kilometres d'ici (this is fifty kilometres away from here) - Il a la cinquantaine (he is in is fifties/he is a fiftysomething).
The word is generally used rather vaguely ("about fifty / around fifty").
Specifically, the word functions as the feminine singular form of an adjective. It joins the number cinquante ("fifty [50]") with the feminine singular adjectival ending -aine. The pronunciation will be "seh-kaw-tehn" in French.
