English reads large numbers in three-digit groups. 1,000 reaches the thousand group, so the group one is followed by the scale name thousand.
Scale names stay singular inside exact number names. English writes one thousand without adding a plural s to the scale name.
When a three-digit group is 000, English skips that group in the word form. This keeps one thousand shorter and easier to read.
