Last of many idiots uncovered hollow truth (8)

I believe the answer is:

umptieth

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'last of many' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Another definition for umptieth that I've seen is " Last of many".)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
