Admissions or declarations of something, especially guilt, sins, or secrets that someone has been hiding.
From Latin 'confiteri' (to acknowledge), combining 'con-' (with) and 'fateri' (to speak), literally meaning to speak openly about something.
The power of confession is so real that modern psychology created psychotherapy partly based on the same principle—unburdening secrets to another person creates measurable mental relief.
