marco

marco

1. first-person singular present indicative form of marcar

Attested in local Latin documents since the 9th century,[1] together with its derivatives marcar and demarcar (“to demarcate”).[2] Given its early local documentation, it is not a borrowing from Italian,[3] but from Gothic or rather Suevic.[4] Ultimately from Proto-Germanic *markō (“boundary, region”), from Proto-Indo-European *merǵ- (“boundary, border”).

• IPA^(key): /ˈmaɾko̝/

marco m (plural marcos)

1. boundary marker (usually, a stone or a set of three stones used for marking a boundary)

   De marco a marco non hai arco (proverb)
