resenting の語源・成り立ち Etymology
resentingは古フランス語 ressentir、さらにラテン語 re-「再び」+ sentire「感じる」に由来し、不快さを何度も感じ直す語。senseやconsentも同じsent-を持ち、受けた傷を心で反復して味わう感覚から「憤慨している」へつながる。
Resenting comes from resent, from Old French ressentir and ultimately from Latin re- "again" plus sentire "to feel." The idea was to feel something again, especially an unpleasant feeling that returns in the mind. That repeated inner feeling developed into the modern sense of lasting bitterness or anger. Related English words from the same root include sense and consent.
