Felt bitter or angry about something, especially feeling that you've been treated unfairly.
From Old French 'resentir' (to feel again), combining 're-' (again) and 'sentir' (to feel). The word means to feel something intensely again and again.
Resentment is literally 'feeling again'—it's anger that you keep re-feeling, which is why resentment lingers and grows while anger can pass quickly.
