More contrite as error is sorted out (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sorrier

'more contrite' is the definition.
('sorry' can be a synonym of 'contrite')

'error is sorted out' is the wordplay.
'sorted out' is an anagram indicator.
'error'+'is'='erroris'
'erroris' with letters rearranged gives 'SORRIER'.

'as' is the link.

(Another definition for sorrier that I've seen is " More contrite".)
