About This Root
From Old English mearc (boundary, sign), from Proto-Germanic *markō. In modern English it functions as both a simple word (mark) and a compound element: landmark (a notable sign in the land), trademark (a brand mark), remark (to mark again, comment on), remarkable (worth marking), and market (originally a place marked for trading).
