mark out
Define the perimeter
Mark out means to define boundaries or designate something for a specific purpose.
You mark out a tennis court with chalk lines, mark out a plot of land with stakes, or mark out passages in a book for later reference.
Figuratively, to mark someone out is to distinguish or single them out: Her talent marked her out for success from an early age.
