Word origin
The word 'disgruntlement' originated in the early 17th century from the combination of 'dis-' (indicating reversal) and 'gruntle', a now obsolete term meaning to complain or grumble. Over time, 'disgruntle' evolved to mean dissatisfied or discontented, leading to the creation of 'disgruntlement' to describe the feeling of discontent or resentment.
