Definition
The quality or state of being contrite; sincere remorse and repentance for having done wrong.
Etymology
From contrite + -ness (the quality of), with contrite from Latin contritus. The noun form abstracts the emotion into a measurable quality.
Kelly Says
Contriteness is what religions measure to decide if you're genuinely sorry—not just regret, but a deep remorse that transforms how you see yourself.
