Syn: Grief; concern; sorrow; lamentation; repentance;

Usage: Regret, Remorse, Compunction, Contrition,
Repentance. Regret does not carry with it the energy
of remorse, the sting of compunction, the sacredness
of contrition, or the practical character of
repentance. We even apply the term regret to
circumstance over which we have had no control, as the
absence of friends or their loss. When connected with
ourselves, it relates rather to unwise acts than to
wrong or sinful ones. --C. J. Smith.
