Word origin
The word 'resentful' comes from the verb 'resent,' which dates back to the 17th century. It is derived from the Latin word 'sentire,' meaning 'to feel.' The prefix 're-' adds the sense of 'again' or 'back,' emphasizing the feeling of bitterness or indignation. Over the years, 'resentful' has become a common adjective used to describe feelings of bitterness or indignation towards perceived unfair treatment.
