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”).[1] Given its early local documentation and its productivity, it is not a borrowing from Italian,[2] but from Gothic or Suevic.[3] Ultimately from Proto-Germanic *marką (“mark”), from Proto-Indo-European *merǵ- (“boundary, border”).

• IPA^(key): /ˈmaɾka̝/
