/ˈmaɾko/, [ˈmaɾ.kʊ]
OrixeAttested in local Latin documents since the 9th century, together with its derivatives marcar and demarcar (“to demarcate”). Given its early local documentation, it is not a borrowing from Italian, but from Gothic or rather Suevic. Ultimately from Proto-Germanic *markō (“boundary, region”), from Proto-Indo-European *mórǵs (“boundary, border”).
