& p. p. Remarked (-m?rkt"); p. pr. & vb.
n. Remarking.] [F. remarquer; pref. re-
re- + marquer to mark, marque a mark, of German origin,
akin to E. mark. See Mark, v.&
n.] 1. To mark in a notable
manner; to distinquish clearly; to make noticeable or conspicuous; to
piont out. [Obs.]
Thou art a man remarked to taste a
mischief.
Ford.
His manacles remark him; there he
sits.

as, to remark the manner of a speaker.
3. To express in words or writing, as observed
or noticed; to state; to say; -- often with a substantive clause; as,

Syn. -- To observe; notice; heed; regard; note; say. --
Remark, Observe, Notice. To observe is to
keep or hold a thing distinctly before the mind. To remark is
simply to mark or take note of whatever may come up. To notice
implies still less continuity of attention. When we turn from these
mental states to the expression of them in language, we find
the same distinction. An observation is properly the result of
somewhat prolonged thought; a remark is usually suggested by
some passing occurence; a notice is in most cases something
cursory and short. This distinction is not always maintained as to
remark and observe, which are often used
interchangeably. "Observing men may form many judgments by the
rules of similitude and proportion." I. Watts. "He can not
distinguish difficult and noble speculations from trifling and vulgar
remarks." Collier. "The thing to be regarded, in taking
notice of a child's miscarriage, is what root it springs from."
Locke.
