Morphology

commenter = comment (transparent) = comment + er

Formed from the verb 'comment' + agentive suffix '-er'; the meaning 'person who comments' is directly derived.

Etymology

Commenter comes from the word comment, which comes from the Latin root ment meaning 'mind' or 'thought', and the ending -er means 'one who'. Think of a commenter at a game as 'one who shares their thoughts', which is why the word means a person who gives live or written analysis.
