Etymology

From Middle English market, from late Old English market (market) and Lua error in Module:parameters at line 360: Parameter 2 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "ONF." is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF. (Old French marchié, modern marché); both ultimately from Latin mercātus (trade, market), from mercor (I trade, deal in, buy), itself derived from merx (wares, merchandise), from the Italic root *merk-, possibly stemming from Etruscan, referring to various aspects of economics. Cognate with Old Frisian merkad, merked, marked, market (market), Middle Dutch market, marct (market), Old High German markat (market), Old Norse markaðr (market).
