Word origin

The term 'resent' comes from the Latin word 'resentire', which means to feel again or to feel deeply. This Latin root is a combination of 're-', meaning again, and 'sentire', meaning to feel or perceive. The term made its way into Old French as 'resentir' before appearing in Middle English as 'resenten'. Over time, its meaning evolved into the current usage, denoting a feeling of bitterness or indignation towards perceived wrongs or injustices. The psychological aspect of resentment is critical, as it can lead to a build-up of negative feelings and interpersonal conflict if not addressed or communicated.
