Remourse of conscience!.

Remourse of conscience (or, roughly, feeling guilty) is the version in english which comes from Latin roots!. "agenbite of inwit" would be the Anglo-Saxon based version!.

Re = agen (again)

Mourse (as in morsel) = bite

in = con

wit = science (awareness, as in consciousness)Www@QuestionHome@Com
