Forms: 1700s Marquois' scales, 1800s Marquiose scale, 1800s Marquois's scales, 1800s– Marquois scale, 1800s– Marquois scales, 1800s– Marquoi's scale. Also with lower-case initial.

Origin: Apparently formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: an element of uncertain origin, scale n.³

Etymology: < a first element of uncertain origin + scale n.³ The first element is probably < a personal name Marquoi or Marquois (see quots. 1783, 1849, 1878): Thomas Marquois, who ran a military and naval academy at Norlands in London in the late 18th cent., has been suggested as the inventor of the instrument.A connection with French†marquoir marking instrument, especially a sort of ruler used by tailors (18th cent.), is perhaps less likely.

Surveying. Now historical.

A plain-edged scale used in conjunction with a triangle for drawing equidistant parallel lines. Also more fully Marquois parallel scales, Marquois scale and triangle, and a pair of Marquois scales.
