Origin of the word marked

The word "marked" has its origins in the Old English word "mearcian," meaning "to mark, to distinguish." This word is likely derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*markōn," which shared the same meaning. The concept of marking is ancient, dating back to prehistoric times when people used symbols or signs to identify ownership or convey information. This practice evolved into the use of marks for identification, measurement, and communication, which ultimately led to the modern meaning of the word "marked."
