记忆方法
记忆“marquis”的方法是将其分解为两部分：“mar”和“quis”。想象“mar”是“major”的缩写，代表一个高级的或者重要的身份；“quis”是拉丁语中“quis est”的缩写，意为“他是谁？”结合起来，可以想象为一个“重要的高级人物是谁？”这样的联想有助于记住“marquis”这个词，它是一个高级的贵族头衔。

marquis: [14] Etymologically, a marquis is a lord of the ‘marches’ or borderlands. The word comes from Old French marquis, an alteration of an earlier marchis. This was a derivative of medieval Latin marca ‘border, frontier’, source of archaic English march ‘border’. The feminine form marchioness [16] comes from medieval Latin marchionissa, a derivative of marchiō ‘lord of the marches’, which likewise was based on marca.
The French feminine form of marquis is marquise. This was borrowed into English in the 17th century and used for a ‘large tent’. It soon came to be misanalysed as a plural form, and so a new ‘singular’, marquee, was born.
=> march, mark, marquee - marquis (n.)
- also marquess, c. 1300, title of nobility, from Old French marchis, literally "ruler of a border area," from Old French marche "frontier," from Medieval Latin marca "frontier, frontier territory" (see march (n.1)). Originally the ruler of border territories in various European regions (such as Italian marchese, Spanish marqués); later a mere title of rank, below duke and above count. Related: Marquisate.
