It's equal to neither. The prefix 'deci-' comes from the ancient, classical Latin language and into the English language by way of the French. The original Latin term is 'decimus', which means 'tenth'. The meaning in French is 'one-tenth', particularly in reference to the metric system of standard measures and weights that the French Revolutionaries set up. Likewise, the English meaning is 'one-tenth' of a unit of measure. Therefore, 'deci-' isn't equal to either 10 or 1,000. It's equal to 1/10th of whatever is being measured.
