Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Late Latin word remordere, meaning 'to bite again' (from re- 'back, again' + mordere 'to bite'). Entering Middle English via Old French remors in the 14th century, the term historically captured the persistent, gnawing pain of conscience felt after committing a wrong.
