a thousandth

The metric prefix "milli" means one-thousandth.

So 1000 millimeters is equal to 1 meter.

1 millimeter is equal to 1/1000 of a meter.

It can also refer to 1000, usually when applied to arthropods: a millipede is so named because it appears to have a thousand legs (although in reality the number is far lower)
