Etymology
Commenter comes from the word comment (from Latin ment 'mind' or 'thought') plus the ending -er meaning 'one who'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of a commenter online as 'one who writes their thoughts', which is why the word means a person who writes comments or short opinions.
