the.com/resentful
a grudge wearing a slow-cooker's patience, reheating the same wound until it's tender.
means Feeling bitter or aggrieved at having been treated unfairly, and holding onto that displeasure.
from From the French 'ressentir,' to feel again or feel intensely — built from the prefix 're-' (back, again) and 'sentir' (to feel), itself from Latin 'sentire.' The bones of the word are honest about the habit: to resent is literally to keep re-feeling something, the same slight tasted over and over. It entered English in the 1600s with that doubled-feeling sense already baked in.
