Remorse of prisoner, one jailed by god (10)
I believe the answer is:
contrition
'remorse' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'prisoner one jailed by god' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'prisoner' could be 'con' (abbreviation for 'convict') and 'con' is found in the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for contrition that I've seen before include "Regret" , "repentance" , "Remorse" .)
