Word Origin & History

march  (v.)
c.1410, from M.Fr. marcher "to march, walk," from O.Fr. marchier "to stride, march," originally "to trample," perhaps from Frank. *markon (from source of obsolete M.E. march (n.) "borderland," (see march (n.)). Or possibly from Gallo-Roman *marcare, from L. marcus "hammer," via notion of "tramping the feet." Noun meaning "act of marching" is from 1590. The musical sense first attested 1572, from notion of "rhythmic drumbeat" for marching. Marching band is attested from 1955.
