Word origin

The word 'march' originated from the Old French word 'marchier', meaning 'to walk'. It has been used in the English language since the 13th century. Originally used to describe the act of walking, it later evolved to include the sense of walking in a military formation. The noun sense of 'March' as the name of the month comes from the Latin 'Martius', named after Mars, the Roman god of war.
