Marked as famous (13)
I believe the answer is:
distinguished
I believe this is a double definition.
'marked' is the first definition.
(distinguishing is a kind of marking)
'famous' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'as' is the link.
(Other definitions for distinguished that I've seen before include "saw the difference" , "like a VIP" , "Differentiated; eminent" , "Treated as different" , "Noble and dignified in appearance" .)
