ONE MILLI AMPERE IS ONE-THOUSAND OF AN AMPERE.?
To find the meaning remove ampere from the sentence.
Now it reads
ONE MILLI IS ONE-THOUSAND..
Hope now you know the meaning.
ONE MILLI AMPERE IS ONE-THOUSAND OF AN AMPERE.?
ONE MILLI meter IS ONE-THOUSAND OF a meter.?
ONE MILLI gram IS ONE-THOUSAND OF a gram
ONE MILLI second IS ONE-THOUSAND OF a second.
ONE MILLI liter IS ONE-THOUSAND OF a liter.

That's an incorrect statement. One milliampere is one-thousandth of an ampere. (notice the -th).
It means there are 1000 milliamperes in 1 ampere.

milli- is used in science for 1/1000. It comes from the Latin word (Mille) for 1000. Example 1/1000 of a metre is a millimetre, or mm. A millipede is NOT 1/1000 of a foot, but a creature loosely said the have 1000 feet!

it means just that. one miliampere = 1/1000 of an ampere. mili is 1/1000 or 10 to the power of negative 3. i milimeter is 1/1000 of a meter. same concept.
i suppose it should read one thousandth?

milliampere = 0.001 amp
1 amp = 1000 milliamps

OMG! Easy! It takes 1000 milliamps to make 1 amp, silly. Its the way electrical current is measured.

Exactly what it says. If you take one ampere and divide it by a thouand, you end up with one miliampere. There is no clearer definition of this.

1/1000 or,
an amp split into 1000 parts.

It's just a name, a definition to have more convinient numbers.
So instead of saying: "We measured 0.0001 A", (you would have to count zeroes) you can say "We measured 0.1 mA".
It happens all the time in the metric system: 1000mm = 1m or 1000ms = 1s.
