Feeling or showing deep regret and sadness for something wrong you have done.
From *remorse* plus the suffix *-ful* meaning “full of.” It describes someone filled with the biting feeling of remorse.
A remorseful person isn’t just saying ‘sorry’; they’re living with that inner bite of conscience. The word suggests an emotion that keeps returning, not a quick, polite apology.
