The word "mil" comes from the Latin "mille", meaning "thousand". As was mentioned on the show, this is the reason that the "milli-" prefix means "thousandth". It's also why the roman numeral for 1000 is "M".
"Million" comes from the Italian "milione" which literally means "big thousand".
Now you know. ...and knowing is half the battle. :D
