Word origin

The term 'one thousandth', or 1/1000th, is derived from the prefix 'milli-' which is used in the metric system to denote a factor of one thousandth. The word 'milli' comes from the Latin 'mille', meaning 'thousand'. Historically, the use of fractions has been a crucial part of mathematical development, with the representation of parts of a whole being essential in trade, measurement, and various sciences. The need to denote such small values arose with advancements in technology and science, where precision is paramount. The fractional notation has been in use for centuries, evolving from simple ratios to the decimal system we commonly use today.
