Solution: (Hide)
The required missing term is 8.

EXPLANATION:

Each term correspond to the number of letters in each word when the first nine composite numbers 4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15 and 16 are expressed in words. The next (tenth) composite number is 18 and the number of letters in "Eighteen" is 8. Consequently, the required missing term is 8.
