marquisen.

Brit. /mɑːˈkiːz/, U.S. /mɑrˈkiz/
Forms: 1600s markees, 1600s– marquise, 1700s marquis.
Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French marquise.
Etymology: < French marquise marchioness (c1393 in Middle French), feminine form corresponding to marquis marquis n.1 (replacing earlier marchise , 13th cent. in Old French); used of various objects and fashions regarded as elegant or pleasing, hence: a kind of pear (1690), a canopy placed over a tent (1718; compare marquee n.), a type of settee (1770), a canopy in front of a building (1835), a ring with an elongated stone or setting, a diamond cut as a navette (late 19th cent.), a style of woman's hat (1889). Compare earlier marquisess n., marchioness n., and marquis n.1 3.Compare post-classical Latin marchisa , marchisia (12th cent. in British and continental sources). It is uncertain whether the form marquis in quot. 1788 at sense 3a shows an error for marquise , or an otherwise unrecorded use of marquis n.1 in the same sense (compare marquee n.).
1. A marchioness.In continental Europe corresponding to marquis n.1 1; in Britain and Ireland corresponding to marquis n.1 2.
