the.com/grumpy
the emotional equivalent of a cat that wanted to be left alone but isn't.
means In a bad-tempered, irritable mood, prone to surly complaints and a generally sour disposition.
from From 'grump,' meaning a fit of ill humor or a sulky mood — a word that likely began as imitative, echoing the low grumbling, mumbling sound of someone muttering their displeasure. It belongs to a small cranky family of 'gr-' words (grumble, grouse, grouch) where the sound itself seems to convey the mood. English picked it up around the 18th century, and the adjective 'grumpy' followed close behind.
