Word origin

The word 'comment' originates from the Latin word 'commentum', which means 'a thought', 'a device', or 'a remark'. The Latin word stems from 'com-' meaning 'together' and 'mentiri' meaning 'to think'. The term was adopted into Old French as 'comenter' in the 14th century, evolving into Middle English as 'commenten' around the late 14th century. It originally referred to a commentary or explanation, particularly in relation to texts. Over time, the use of 'comment' expanded to include spoken remarks and digital communication, especially with the advent of the internet and social media. Today, it encompasses a wide array of contexts, from formal critiques to casual interactions on various platforms.
