Etymology
The word is the verbal noun of the Form II verb عَلَّقَ, from the Semitic root ع-ل-ق, which carries the idea of hanging, attaching, or clinging. A comment hangs on the thing it responds to, so the sense of attachment extends to remarks and annotations. The same root gives the legal sense of suspending a decision, leaving it hanging.
