Great Scrabble word :) According to https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gruntled gruntled is a humorous neologism introduced as a back-construction by P. G. Wodehouse in The Code of the Woosters (1938): He spoke with a certain what-is-it in his voice, and I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.



in case you missed it, the play on words was "happy grunts == gruntled"
