Definition
As a noun, regret is a sad or disappointed feeling about something that has already happened or that you did. As a verb, to regret means to feel sorry about something you did or failed to do.
Etymology
From Old French *regret* meaning ‘sorrow, distress’, possibly from *re-* (again) + *greter* (to cry, weep). It carries the sense of emotional pain that returns to you.
Kelly Says
Regret is your brain’s way of running a ‘what if’ simulation on the past. A little regret can teach you; too much just loops the same painful movie without adding new information.
