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)
