Etymology

The word 'grouching' is derived from the verb 'grouch', which in turn comes from the Middle English 'grouchen' meaning to grumble or complain. This term has its roots in the early 18th century, although the origin is somewhat unclear. It is thought to be an onomatopoeic word that mimics the sound of someone lowly grumbling or muttering under their breath. Over time, the usage of 'grouch' evolved to also refer to someone who habitually complains or expresses discontent, giving rise to the verb 'grouching'. The morphological form 'grouching', representing the present participle, suggests an ongoing action of being grumpy or irritable, firmly establishing its place in modern vernacular.
