Best Answer

The word gruntled has no modern English use, and was formed from the verb disgruntle, meaning to put in a bad mood, to discontent or estrange.

The word disgruntled means dissatisfied, or upset, and is notably used for a disgruntled ex-employee, to mean someone who feels misused and may still harbor ill will against a previous employer.
