Literally it means "to rethink". In practice it refers to the action of turning away from a negative thing, and toward a positive thing. Repentence is not a feeling. It is an action - something you DO. Remorse is a feeling. Judas experienced remorse for betraying Christ. He allowed his remorse to turn into despair, and hanged himself. Simon Peter also experienced remorse for betraying Christ. He repented, turning away from his sin and toward His Savior to receive forgiveness.

"(1)To feel regret or self reproach for what one has done or failed to do. (2)To change for the better as a result of remorse or contrition for one's sins." I understand it personally as acknowledging my wrongdoing and trying to amend it.
