"That word" comes up in a Bible-quote in a partner-letter (from BVOV Ministries) I share in a post I link-to below.

What I show here is 'the group of words' that give "that word" a place to connect to your vocabulary ... deeper sources that firm the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Repent” is built on ancient words that mean "to Regret, Make Sorry" + an |Intensive prefix (or Re-).

You probably think BVOV Ministries was referring to 'how you must repent of your sins & be saved by the Blood' or whatever, but no; the quote is actually about how God is BEYOND the need to repent!

That word--in Greek--is וְיִתְנֶחָ֑ם (wə·yiṯ·ne·ḥām),  and is rooted in words that also mean |Appease-, |Console-, |Comfort-, Rest-, have |Compassion on-, Pity-, Relent (from Punishing)- or Relieve oneself.
