See also mart n.⁴

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French marke, marque.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman mark, marke, marque, merche and Middle French marche, marque, merque right of reprisal (1339; French marque ) < Old Occitan marca right of reprisal, seizure by way of reprisal, object seized (12th cent.) < marcar to seize by way of reprisal (12th cent.), probably < a Germanic cognate of mark n.¹ and mark v., the likely sense being ‘to mark as one's own, to claim’, though this is uncertain and disputed. Compare post-classical Latin marca (1313 in a Gascon source), marcha (1152 in a document from Toulouse), marchia (1318 in a Gascon source), marqua (1293 in a British source), mercha (1295 in a British source) all denoting goods seized by way of reprisal; compare also Middle French merquer (1389), Catalan marcar (13th cent.), post-classical Latin marcare, marchare, marchiare, marquare (13th and 14th centuries in British and continental sources) to seize by way of reprisal.Occurs frequently in the collocation marque and reprisal(s) after Anglo-Norman legal use, e.g.:1353 Rolls of Parl. II. 250/1 Nous eions la Lei de mark & de reprisailles.1417 Act 4 Hen. V Stat. 2 c. 7 Que de toutz attemptatz faitz par ses ennemys..encountre le tenure daucunes Trieuves..en les quelles nest pas fait expresse mencion que toutz marques & reprisailles cesseront..nostre Signior le Roi a toutz qi lour sentiront en tiel cas grevez, voet grauntier marque en due forme. With letters of marque compare Anglo-Norman lettres merches (1435), Middle French lettre de marque (1549), post-classical Latin litterae marquae (1410 in a British source), litterae de marqua (14th–15th cent. in a British source). With the Middle English form merque (attested 1419) perhaps compare Old Occitan (Gascon) merqua (1407 in a document from Bordeaux), Middle French merque (1415 in a document from Bordeaux).

1. Retribution; a reprisal, punishment. rare after 17th cent. Occasionally: = letter of marque n. at sense 2.

2. letter of marque n.

a. Usually in plural. Also more fully letter(s) of marque and reprisal. Originally: a licence granted by a monarch authorizing a subject to take reprisals on the subjects of a hostile state for alleged injuries. Later: legal authority to fit out an armed vessel and use it in the capture of enemy merchant shipping and to commit acts which would otherwise have constituted piracy; also in extended use. See also letter (also script, writ) of mart n. at mart n.⁴ Now chiefly historical.So far as European nations are concerned the issue of letters of marque was abolished by the Declaration of Paris in 1856. However, it remains possible under the U.S. Constitution for Congress (but not for state governments) to commission privateers by letters of marque.
