Word Origin & Etymology

Derived from the adjective 'remorseless' plus the adverbial suffix '-ly'. The root 'remorse' enters Middle English via Old French 'remors', from Medieval Latin 'remorsus', literally meaning 'a biting back' of the conscience (from Latin 're-' meaning 'back' and 'mordere' meaning 'to bite').
