Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Old French remors, stemming from the Medieval Latin remorsus, meaning 'a biting again' or 'remorse'. The root traces back to the Latin remordere, formed by re- (back, again) and mordere (to bite), metaphorically representing the gnawing pain of conscience after committing a wrongdoing.
