==French==

===Etymology===
From {{inh|fr|frm|marquer}} (15th c.), from northern {{der|fr|fro|merchier}}, {{m|fro|merquer}}, denominal from {{m|fro|merc|t=sign}}, from {{der|fr|non|merki}}. The ''-a-'' may be due to a general variation in Middle French, but was likely reinforced by {{der|fr|it|marcare}} (13th c.), which is derived from {{der|fr|la|marca}}, from a confluence of {{der|fr|gmw-pro|*mark}} and {{m|gmw-pro|*marku}}, both related with the Old Norse above. {{m+|la||marca}} is also the source of {{m+|fr|marche|t=frontier}}.
