Etymology: Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˈtide-mark.

The mark left or reached by the tide at high or (rarely) low water; by extension, the mark left by a river flood.

Also figurative; spec. a line of dirt left on a surface, esp. at the limit to which water has reached (cf. high-water mark n. 3).
