Etymology
The term 'grousing' originates from the early 20th century in American English. It is believed to be derived from the word 'grouse,' which means to complain or grumble. The word 'grouse' itself has Scottish origins that date back to the 14th century, initially referring to a type of game bird (the 'grouse'). As the meaning evolved, it began to embody the notion of expressing dissatisfaction or annoyance. The informal nature of the word has made it popular in various social contexts, denoting not just complaints but often a humorous or light-hearted tone of grumbling about life's frustrations.
