Etymology of REPENTING

The word repenting is derived from the Old French word repentir which meant to feel remorse or to be sorry. This term was further derived from the Latin word repentare which meant to think over again or to reconsider. Ultimately, the Latin word was a combination of re (again) and pensare (to weigh or consider). Over time, repentir evolved into repent in Middle English, and the addition of the suffix -ing created the present participle repenting.
