Past tense of comment; expressed an opinion or made a remark about something.
From Latin commentari meaning 'to consider, reflect upon,' from com- (intensive) + mens 'mind.' The word evolved through Old French comenter to mean making explanatory notes or observations.
The word 'comment' originally referred to scholarly annotations in medieval manuscripts, where monks would write explanatory notes in the margins. Today's social media comments are the digital descendants of those ancient marginal scribblings!
