thousandths
Three decimals deep
Thousandths is the plural of thousandth—the position three places to the right of a decimal point, or one part in a thousand.
Measurements often require this precision: The coating is only a few thousandths of an inch thick.
In racing or scientific contexts, times are measured to the thousandths of a second.
