What is the Latin word for 'sorry'?

In Latin it would be luctouosa "feeling sorry" or moestifer "sorrowful".

If the question refers to Spanish it could be excusa, afligido or another form depending upon the dialect of the country of origin.

Latin does not really use the word 'sorry' as it is used in English. Luctosus means 'full of sorrow/grief' and Moestus means 'sad, unhappy, mournful'. To say 'I am sorry', a Roman would have used "Me paenitet" - that translates literally to 'It makes me sorry'. The 'sorry' portion is actually part of the verb.

You can also say "mea culpa" which means my fault.-Edit

There was actually an expression--"me paenitet"
