A critical or opposing remark made in response to a comment, often used in online discussions.
Formed from 'anti-' (against) plus 'comment' from Latin 'commentum' meaning 'invention' or 'thought.' This is a modern coinage reflecting digital-age communication patterns.
This word perfectly captures modern internet culture—the anticomment is basically when someone replies to a comment not to add to the discussion, but to argue against it, creating those branching threads of debate you see on social media.
