contrite

contrite
adjective
con·trite kən-ˈtrīt 
also
ˈkän-ˌtrīt : feeling or showing sorrow and remorse for improper or objectionable behavior, actions, etc.
Did you know?
A person who is contrite may have rubbed someone the wrong way and caused bruised feelings—and there is a hint about the origins of the word in that thought. Contrite came to English by way of Anglo-French from the Latin verb conterere, meaning "to grind" or "to bruise." Conterere, in turn, was formed by combining the prefix com-, meaning "with" or "together," and terere, "to rub." If you've guessed that trite is a cousin of contrite (through terere), you are correct. Other terere descendants in English include detriment and very possibly the familiar verb try.
