Etymology of NOT SORRY

The phrase "not sorry" is a combination of two words:

1. Not: The word "not" is derived from the Old English word "nāt", which meant "not at all" or "in no way". Over the years, it evolved into the Middle English word "nat" and finally "not" as we know it today. It is used to express negation or denial.

2. Sorry: The word "sorry" originated from the Old English word "sārig", which meant "distressed, full of sorrow or grief". It is derived from the Old English verb "sorgian", meaning "to feel or express sorrow". The word "sorry" is commonly used to express regret, apology, or sympathy.

Therefore, when combined, "not sorry" simply means "not feeling regret or expressing an apology". It is often used to convey an unapologetic or defiant attitude.
