The “42” indicates that the outer diameter of the threaded
part (the part with the sharp point) is 42 mm.

The M42 mount has a threaded mount on the camera side
This is the method of screwing the lens mount (male screw) into this part.
At the time, it was the world standard lens mount, but it was

In Japan, Asahi Kogaku Kogyo (Pentax), Mamiya, Ricoh, and others
adopted the M42 mount.
Now that M42-compatible camera bodies are available at relatively
low prices, please enjoy your film camera life with various
M42-mount lenses.
