Etimologie

From Medieval Latin marcāre, from Medieval Latin marco, frequent in local documents since the 9th century together with its derivatives marcar and demarcar (“to demarcate”). Given its early local documentation, with this meaning ("to delimit") it is not a borrowing from Italian, but from Gothic or Suevic, from Proto-Germanic *markō (“boundary, region”), from Proto-Indo-European *merǵ- (“boundary, border”).
