[
REUH-mohr] (n. m.) We've gone at length on the history of
morsel (
see entry) and we know that the word is derived from the Latin
mordus (in French
simply
mord) which means
to bite. See, it's a poetic thought here that pressed
remorse into usage. It's the feeling you get when something comes back to bit you, in little nibbles eating at your tranquility.
