Word origin
The word 'gruntle' originated from the Old English word 'gruntelen', which meant to grumble or grunt. Over time, the prefix 'dis-' was added to create 'disgruntle', meaning to make discontented or dissatisfied. Eventually, 'gruntle' came to be used humorously as the opposite of 'disgruntle' to mean satisfied or content.
