The French way to feel regret (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rue

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'the french way' is the first definition.
('road' or 'street' in French)

'feel regret' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rue that I've seen before include "Regret the bitter herb" , "Lament; a herb" , "repentance" , "Wish not to have been" , "Bitter-tasting herb" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
