Sechzig is a cardinal number in German. It is formed by combining 'sechs' (six) with the suffix '-zig' (used for tens). Note the spelling change from 'sechs' to 'sech-' before '-zig'. This number follows the same pattern as other tens (zwanzig, dreißig, vierzig, etc.). In spoken German, it's often pronounced with a soft 'ch' sound similar to the 'ch' in 'ich'.
