Etymology 1

From Medieval Latin marcāre, from Medieval Latin marco, frequent in local documents since the 9th century together with its derivatives marcar and demarcar (“to demarcate”). Given its early local documentation, with this meaning ("to delimit") it is not a borrowing from Italian, but from Gothic or Suevic, from Proto-Germanic *markō (“boundary, region”), from Proto-Indo-European *merǵ- (“boundary, border”).

Verb

marcar (first-person singular present marco, first-person singular preterite marquei, past participle marcado)

1. (dated) to demarcate, to delimit

     vendemus et outorgamus uno tallo de herdade, o qual esta marcado per marcos ontre a casa de Pedro Perez et o lagar que esta ante o celeyro de Fernan Ares

     We sell and give a patch of land which is delimited by boundary stones in between the house of Pedro Pérez and the wine press before the granary of Fernán Ares

   • 1862, anonymous, Album de la Caridad. A Coruña: Imprenta del Hospicio Provincial, page 267:

     Since we had paid our rent, and the terrain is correctly delimited
