markswoman

/mˈɑɹkswʊmən/ noun

A woman skilled at hitting targets, as with a firearm, bow, or thrown object.

Word Origin Mark from Old English mearc 'boundary, sign, target', and woman from wifmann 'female person'. A markswoman is a woman skilled at hitting a mark, a female sharpshooter. The root mearc gives us mark, marker, remark, landmark, and market (originally a place with boundary markers). The PIE root *merg- meant 'boundary'. So markswoman is literally 'target-woman'. The breakdown marks+woman shows the compound.
