Etymology

The term 'grouser' originated in the early 20th century, derived from the word 'grouse' meaning to grumble or complain. In the context of construction, the term evolved to refer to the metal teeth for grip, resembling the behavior of a complainer who digs into or grips onto a situation. Over time, 'grouser' has become a slang term for both the construction equipment part and a person who frequently complains.
