marklandn.

Brit.

/ˈmɑːkland/, U.S.

/ˈmɑrklænd/, Scottish English

/ˈmarkland/

Forms: see mark n.² and land n.¹

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: mark n.², land n.¹

Etymology: < mark n.² + land n.¹ Compare post-classical Latin marcata terrae a mark's worth of land (c1160 onwards in English sources, 1296 onwards in Scottish sources), and the Anglo-Norman equivalent marché de terre (1330 in an English source). Old English mearcland and Old Icelandic markland borderland, wasteland are unrelated (see mark n.¹).Compare earlier use of mark (with plural marked or unmarked) modified by a numeral and forming attributive phrases with land (e.g. nine mark(s) land ), denoting a piece of land of the specified annual rental value:1499 Charter Edinb. Reg. House No. 625 Wyth the medow of Lothnair and the half markland of the milnland.1529 in Cal.

Orkney & Shetland (1962) 18 To merch and meith ane twa merk land out of that last of the landis of Buay quhair the said Elizabethis landis lay of befoir. The form merks-land in quot. 1795 at sense 2 perhaps reflects a generalization of this use.

Scottish. Now historical.

1. A piece of land having an annual rental value of one mark. Hence also: a unit of land based on this value, used in land assessment (see quot. 1944).
