Origin and related terms: The verb is derived from the noun Kommentar (comment), with the -ieren suffix used to form verbs from nouns. The noun Kommentar traces back to Latin commentarium, and through German usage it evolved into the modern verb form kommentieren and its inflected forms, including kommentierst.
