Etymology
The word 'remorseful' originated from the Middle English word 'remorsful,' which came from the Old French 'remors' meaning 'remorse.' The root of 'remorse' can be traced back to the Latin word 'remorsus,' which means 'to bite back.' This reflects the idea of feeling regret or guilt over a past action. The term has been used in English literature and language for centuries to describe the feeling of deep sorrow or regret for a wrongdoing.
