Etymology

1. 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.
2. From Middle English marchen, from Middle French marcher (“to march, walk”), from Old French marchier (“to stride, to march, to trample”), from Frankish *markōn (“to mark, mark out, to press with the foot”), from Proto-Germanic *markōną (“to mark”). Akin to Old English mearc, ġemearc (“mark, boundary”). Compare mark, from Old English mearcian.
3. Compare typologically Russian сле́довать (slédovatʹ) (akin to след (sled)). Also compare пятно́ (pjatnó) (<~ пята́ (pjatá)). See: Middle French 'marcher', Old French 'marchier', Proto-Germanic '*markōną', Old English 'mearcian'.
