中文词源


marque 知名品牌,捕拿特许

现词义来自mark,标记,记号,引申词义知名品牌,特指汽车品牌。其古义见习语letters of marque,捕拿特许证,来自古法语marcar,纳投名状,用抓捕或抢劫来证明诚心。该词起源于中世纪时,西欧各国通过官方文件鼓励本国海盗进行抢劫,一部分上交作为官方收益,一部分留作自用。

英文词源


marque (n.)
"seizure by way of reprisal," mid-15c., in letters of marque "official permission to capture enemy merchant ships," from Anglo-French mark (mid-14c.), via Old French from Old Provençal marca "reprisal," from marcar "seize as a pledge, mark," probably from a Germanic source (compare Old High German marchon "delimit, mark;" see mark (n.1)), but the sense evolution is difficult.
