Is the word remorso the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "remorso" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammatical classification (masculine noun) in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation:

• Brazilian Portuguese: The vowels tend to be more open, and the rhythm of the speech is more "syllable-timed," meaning each syllable carries a more even weight.
• Continental Portuguese: The vowels are more "closed" or reduced (often becoming almost silent in unstressed positions), and the rhythm is "stress-timed," giving the language a more staccato, consonant-heavy sound.
