Etymology
From the past participle of 'anbringen' (to attach, to bring up). Composed of 'an-' (to, at) and 'gebracht' (brought), it means something 'brought to' a situation, hence 'appropriate'.
Memory Tips
Think of 'bringing' the right thing 'to' ('an-') a situation. If you 'anbringen' the right comment, it is 'angebracht' (appropriate).
