The marker or marker can be called a marker.
Marker is one or that which marks . The verb mark, for its part, refers to pointing with positive signs. In several Latin American countries, a marker is an instrument used for writing or drawing .
For example: “I need a black marker to complete the form,” “My dad gave me a box of colored markers,” “Facundo conquered me when he made a portrait of me with a marker on a napkin.”
Before analyzing the term in depth, it is important to determine its etymological origin. In this regard, we can say that it comes from the Germanic word mark , which can be translated as “edge.”
The marker or marker
Generally, the marker (also known as a marker or marker ) is used to write on surfaces other than paper , since its tip is usually made of some porous material that is more appropriate for leaving its mark on other surfaces.
It is possible to find indelible or permanent markers (whose ink remains over time thanks to the presence of various chemical substances) and non-permanent markers (with ink that adheres to the surface but is not absorbed).
In basketball, the result and the board that records the goals scored are called the scoreboard.
The term in sport
Scoreboard, on the other hand, is the result of a sports competition or the board that, located within a sports venue, keeps track of the points or goals that the players or teams obtain: “With the score equal, the Peruvian striker missed a penalty that could have changed the course of the game ” "The coach reminded us that we had the score in our favor and that we had to play without rushing."
In this way, both on any soccer field and on a basketball court , for example, there are one or more markers whose objective is to determine not only the result that is being experienced at any given moment in a match, but also the time that It fits this one.
Closely related to sport is “Marcado Internacional” (International Scoreboard) . This is the name of a program on the Spanish radio network Marca . Saturdays are specifically when the one is broadcast in which an in-depth and special analysis of what the European football leagues would be.
Marker as worker
We cannot ignore either that the term in question is used, in the same way, within the printing sector. And in this field it is used to refer to the worker whose mission is to carry out the placement of the different folds of paper that the machine that is printing needs.
The man who contrasts metals, coins, measures and weights, finally, is also known as a marker. In this sense, we also have to explain that there was what was called the major marker . This was the title given to the man who had the honor of being the head of the markers who in Castile were dedicated to the aforementioned task of hallmarking coins.
