Introduction to the verb démarquer
The English translation of the French verb démarquer is “to differentiate” or “to stand out.”
Pronunciation: [deh-mar-kay]
Origin: Démarquer comes from the French word “marquer” which means “to mark” or “to score.” The prefix “dé-” changes the meaning to “to unmark” or “to differentiate.”
