Question

remorse Remorse for the accident that occurred that night seems to have altered the course of the senator's life. rɪˈmɔrs

Accepted Answer

A deep regret arising from a sense of guilt for past wrongs. In Latin, mordere means “to bite”; thus, remorse is something that “gnaws” at you over and over. In criminal court, judges are always looking for signs that a convicted felon is suffering remorse for his crime; if not, the judge may well lengthen his sentence or deny him parole after serving part of it. Remorse is stronger than mere regret; real remorse is the kind of thing that may last a lifetime.
