Wednesday Word: Gruntled

gruntled |ˈgrəntld|adjective humorouspleased, satisfied, and contented.ORIGIN 1930s: back-formation from disgruntled .Just comes to show you that language is a living thing. And that logic can be used in the service of humor, because if disgruntled is a word gruntled must be one too, right?Although I can see why it isn't more popular. "I'm positively gruntled with the service in this restaurant," has a strange ring.
