contriteadj.n.

Brit.

/ˈkɒntrʌɪt/,

/kənˈtrʌɪt/, U.S.

/kənˈtraɪt/

Forms: Also Middle English contrit, ( contritte, contryht), Middle English–1500s contryte.

Etymology: < French contrit (12th cent.), < Latin contrītus bruised, crushed, past participle of conterĕre, < con- together + terĕre to rub, triturate, bray, grind. The pronunciation long varied between the original conˈtrite and ˈcontrite; the former was still recognized by Johnson and used by some 18th cent. hymn-writers. Johnson has also conˈtriteness; Browning has conˈtritely; on the other hand ˈcontrite is found in Piers Ploughman. Depending on this is the prosodic choice between hearts conˈtrite and ˈcontrite hearts.
