resent
UK: rɪˈzent | US: rɪˈzent
vt. to feel bitterness or indignation at (a circumstance, action, or person)
The word "resent" originated in the early 17th century from French ressentir ("to feel strongly"), combining re- (intensifier) and sentir ("to feel"). It reflects the idea of "feeling again" or "re-experiencing" negative emotions, such as anger or hurt, toward a past event or action. The morphemes preserve their original Latin roots while adapting to English spelling.
