Etymology

The word 'grouch' is believed to have originated in American English in the early 19th century, derived from the earlier term 'grouchy', which in turn is likely derived from 'grutch', an earlier verb meaning to grumble or complain. The etymology reflects the nature of the word as it conveys annoyance or discontentment. The idea of grouching encompasses a slight sense of humor, often pointing to the absurdity of the complaints being expressed. Over time, the usage of 'grouch' has evolved, and it not only captures the act of complaining but also implies a state of being irritable or in a bad mood. This term has retained its informal tone and is often used in casual conversation today.
