† markmootn.

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

Etymology: < mark n.¹ + moot n.¹; a mistaken interpretation by J. M. Kemble (see discussion below) of Old English mearca mōt place where boundaries meet.The Old English phrase is attested only in a late copy of a grant of land at Barrow-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire, in 971 (for a detailed discussion of this charter see Jrnl. Eng. Place-name Soc. (1993) 25 19–37.):lOE Bounds (Sawyer 782) in W. de G. Birch Cartularium Saxonicum (1893) III. 567 Fram Heope bricge to merce mot. Fram merce mote to Cumbre hole. Kemble ( Saxons in Eng. (1849) I. ii. 55), enthusiastically expounding his theory of the Germanic Mark (mark n.¹ 3), misinterprets the phrase as a compound mearcmōt with the meaning ‘place where a Markcourt was held’. There is, however, no evidence for the existence of the Mark as an administrative unit or of Markcourts associated with them. Interestingly, one post-classical Latin source does point to the existence of an unrecorded Old English *mearcgemōt with the probable meaning ‘boundary court’ (see further L. J. Downer Leges Henrici Primi (1972) 320):a1118 Leges Hen. I lvii. §8 in L. J. Downer Leges Henrici Primi (1972) 178 In diuisis uel [m]erchimotis,..in comitatu uel burgimoto uel hallimoto.
