'Lo' in 'Lo Siento'
Lo siento
Does 'Lo' stand for the person we're saying we're sorry to? or does it stand for the thing we're sorry about? What does it exactly point to?

It's the thing that we are sorry about or regret.
Lo (it) siento (I feel).
Lo (it) siento ( i feel) I feel it aka i am sorry
Lo (it) veo (i see) I see it
No lo (it) comprendo(i understand) I do not understand
Lo is a masculine direct object pronoun as well as a neuter; "it" is an abstract object, in a sense.
