Etymology
From French démarquer, from New Latin *demarcō (“to mark off, set the bounds of, bound”), from Latin dē- (“off”) + Medieval Latin marcō (“to mark”), from marca (“bound, mark, march”). By surface analysis, de- + mark. See mark, march.
Altered spelling of French Demarcq, or alternatively an Americanized form of Italian De Marco.
