demarcar
From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Etymology
Attested since the 10th century in local Latin documents,[1] from de- + marcar, from marco (“boundary mark”), frequent in local documents since the 9th century; given its early local documentation it is not a borrowing from Italian, but from Gothic or Suevic.[2] Ultimately from Proto-Germanic *markō (“boundary, region”), from Proto-Indo-European *merǵ- (“boundary, border”).
