Etymology
The term 'marque' originates from the Old French word 'marque,' which means a mark or brand. Initially, it was used in medieval contexts to denote a boundary or a mark of distinction. Over time, the term evolved to refer specifically to branded goods, particularly in the context of automobile manufacturers in the 20th century. The association with luxury and quality became more pronounced, particularly as consumer culture developed and people began to identify with specific brands. The usage of 'marque' in the automotive industry emphasizes not only the brand but also the values that the brand represents, often linking it to heritage, performance, and lifestyle.
