re·morse | /rəˈmôrs/ | noun
- deep regret or guilt for a wrong committed.
Remorse is a distressing emotion experienced by a person who regrets actions which they deem to be shameful, hurtful, or violent. Remorse is closely allied to guilt and self-directed resentment. When a person regrets an earlier work or failure to act, it may be because of remorse or in response to various other consequences, including being punished for the act or omission. People may express remorse through apologies, trying to repair the damage they’ve caused or self-imposed punishments.
