means Irritable, sulky, and easily annoyed — the disposition of someone in a bad temper.
from From 'grouch,' meaning a sulky mood or a habitually sulky person, which traces back to the same root as 'grudge' — both descend from the Old French 'grouchier' (also 'groucher'), meaning to grumble or murmur in complaint. The whole family carries the low growl of muttered discontent, and 'grouchy' is simply the adjective worn by anyone in that grumbling state.
