From de- + marca (mark). The verb form in third-person singular uses the -s ending. The original sense was about literally marking boundaries in medieval kingdoms.
A teacher demarcates the difference between facts and opinions, or a river demarcates a national border—but the word's power is that it insists something is NOT ambiguous or blurry.
