jakeλēten

a feeling that one needs to undo the effects of something that has been done. This is sort of like penitence, in that it has the idea that the person feeling this ought to perform some action to mitigate or undo a previous action; however, there is no particular authority or priesthood directing what actions one should take, nor is it necessary that the person feeling jakeλēten be the person who performed the action for which one feels penitent.
