Etymology
Μαρς entered Greek from Turkish marş, meaning march or quick step, used originally as a military drill command. Turkish took the word from French marche, the noun tied to the verb marcher, to march. Greek kept it as a bare command, used both in the literal military sense and as a blunt way to tell someone to leave.
