Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the prefix dis- (expressing negation or reversal) combined with gruntle, an intensive or frequentative form of grunt, originally meaning to make a low guttural sound like a pig. First appearing in the mid-17th century, the verb gruntle initially meant to grumble or murmur, and its past participle evolved into the modern adjective describing someone who is out of sorts, dissatisfied, or resentful.
