Where this word comes from
From Old Galician-Portuguese repentir (13th century, Cantigas de Santa Maria), from Vulgar Latin *repaenitīre, from Late Latin paenitīre, from Classical Latin paenitēre. The expected outcome would have had voiced /d/; cf. the alternative form above (< Early Medieval Latin repoenitēre). As occurred in Old Spanish, the medieval repentir may be due to French influence. Compare Portuguese arrepender, Spanish arrepentirse.
