demarcate
의미: To establish the boundaries or limits of something, whether physical territory, areas of responsibility, or conceptual distinctions.
Demarcate is used in geography, law, and abstract reasoning to describe the act of drawing clear lines. It appears frequently in discussions of borders, jurisdictions, and intellectual boundaries — 'demarcating the line between free speech and hate speech.' The related noun 'demarcation' is often more common than the verb itself, particularly in the phrase 'demarcation dispute,' a staple of British industrial relations.
