What does REGRET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A feeling of sadness or disappointment over something one did, failed to do, or lost.
Regret arises when a person looks back on a decision, action, or missed chance and wishes it had gone differently, ranging from mild disappointment over a small choice to deep, lasting sorrow over a serious mistake. The word also appears in polite, formal language, as when an invitation is declined by expressing regret at being unable to attend. Both the noun and the related verb describe this same backward-looking sense of wishing the past had been otherwise.
