comment out vt. to surround a section of code with comment delimiters
or to prefix every line in the section with a comment marker; this
prevents it from being compiled or interpreted. often done when the code
is redundant or obsolete, but is being left in the source to make the
intent of the active code clearer; also when the code in that section is
broken and you want to bypass it in order to debug some other part of
the code. compare condition out, usually the preferred technique in
languages such as c that make it possible.

comment out
to surround a section of code with comment
delimiters or to prefix every line in the section with a
comment marker. this prevents it from being compiled or
interpreted. it is often done to temporarily disable the
code, e.g. during debugging or when the code is redundant or
obsolete, but is being left in the source to make the intent
of the active code clearer.
the word "comment" is sometimes replaced with whatever
syntax is used to mark comments in the language in question,
e.g. "hash out" shell script, perl, "rem out" basic,
etc.
