Etymology
The French verb **indiquer** comes from the Late Latin *indicāre*, meaning “to show or point out.” It is formed from *in-* “in, into” plus the Latin root *-cāre* (to make, do) attached to *icā* (“to mark or indicate”), itself derived from *indicāre* “to indicate.” The word entered French in the 13th century, preserving the Latin sense of marking or pointing out, and has since remained a regular *-er* verb.
