  1. contriteness

    Regret is sorrow for any painful or annoying matter. One is moved with penitence for wrong-doing. To speak of regret for a fault of our own marks it as slighter than one regarding which we should express penitence. Repentance is sorrow for sin with self-condemnation, and complete turning from the sin. Penitence is transient, and may involve no change of character or conduct. There may be sorrow without repentance, as for consequences only, but not repentance without sorrow. Compunction is a momentary sting of conscience, in view either of a past or of a contemplated act. Contrition is a subduing sorrow for sin, as against the divine holiness and love. Remorse is, as its derivation indicates, a biting or gnawing back of guilt upon the heart, with no turning of heart from the sin, and no suggestion of divine forgiveness.

    Synonyms:
    compunction, contrition, penitence, regret, remorse, repentance, self-condemnation, sorrow

    Antonyms:
    approval, comfort, complacency, content, hardness, impenitence, obduracy, obstinacy, self-approval, self-complacency, self-congratulation, stubbornness

    Preposition:
    Repentance of or in heart, or from the heart; repentance for sins; before or toward God; unto life.

  2. Adam Kinzinger:

    She stood up and kind of gave a bit of contriteness, but then it pivoted into,' they're coming after you next', at least half the room didn't of course stand up and applaud her. That's something, I guess. But you know, to see people at the end of it just be all in on Marjorie Taylor Greene. Look, I get it. She's a Republican in your mind and you want to defend her, but my goodness, look at what's been said.
