No, 5 kilometers equals 5000 meters (kilo is Greek for 1,000). 5000 millimeters equals 5 meters (milli is Latin for 1,000). Multiples of a meter are expressed in Greek and fractions of a meter are expressed in Latin.
1000
The prefix for 0.001 or 1/1000 is milli-, from the latin for 1000.
Milli implies it is 1000 times smaller. Decimals from latin normally imply smaller, greek larger (kilo=1000 times larger)
milli
Mille is Latin for thousand. Annus is latin for year. Milleannus <-> Millenium, thus you have the translation equivalent to one thousand years. Kilo is Greek for thousand. The metric system uses Greek words for the first three increases in magnitude (deca, hecto, kilo), and Latin words for the first three decreases in magnitude (deci, centi, milli). Deci is the only word that legitimately means what we use it to describe - tenth; centi is hundred, while milli is thousand. Source: wikipedia
"milli-" comes from the Latin noun "mīlle", meaning a thousand, or "mīlia" for the plural form (thousands)
