Pronunciation

Etymology 1

Attested in local Latin documents since the 9th century ("per marcas certas et sinales"), together with the related terms marco (“landmark”), marcar (“to mark”) and demarcar (“to demarcate”). Given its early local documentation and its productivity, it is not a borrowing from Italian, but from Gothic or Suevic. Ultimately from Proto-Germanic *marką (“mark”), from Proto-Indo-European *merǵ- (“boundary, border”).

Noun

marca m (plural marcas)

  1. mark, signal
