One thousand is a number equal to 1,000, or 103.[1] It is also equal to the square root of a million. The term came from Old English "þusend," from Proto-Germanic "thusundi", which was likely an indefinite number meaning "many".[2] A thousand is used as a base in the widely used -illion naming system, since all -illions are powers of a thousand.
One thousand sheets of paper is called a bundle.[3]

Note: The readers should be careful that numbers defined by Username5243's Array Notation are ill-defined as explained in Username5243's Array Notation#Issues. So, when an article refers to a number defined by the notation, it actually refers to an intended value, not an actual value itself (for example, a[c]b = \(a \uparrow^c b\) in arrow notation). In addition, even if the notation is ill-defined, a class category should be based on an intended value when listed, not an actual value itself, as it is not hard to fix all the issues from the original definition, hence it should not be removed.
