Syn.
– To Deplore, Mourn, Lament, Bewail, Bemoan. Mourn is the generic
term, denoting a state of grief or sadness. To lament is to express
grief by outcries, and denotes an earnest and strong expression of
sorrow. To deplore marks a deeper and more prolonged emotion. To
bewail and to bemoan are appropriate only to cases of poignant
distress, in which the grief finds utterance either in wailing or in
moans and sobs. A man laments his errors, and deplores the ruin they
have brought on his family; mothers bewail or bemoan the loss of
their children.
