- 1不滿的（事情不如意、覺得被虧待時的悶氣；口語常說不爽）
Disgruntled means unhappy and a bit angry because things have not gone the way you wanted, or because you feel badly treated. It is not wild anger. It is the sour mood of someone who has been holding a complaint. News writers love it for workers after a pay cut, customers after a long wait, voters after a broken promise. It feels a little like an older word and a little stiff, but it is still very much alive in newspapers. Though actually, we almost only meet this describing form. The doing-word disgruntle exists, but people rarely say it. And the joke opposite gruntled (“happy”) is something writers play with; it is not how most people talk.
組成From disgruntle + -ed (the ending that makes the past and the “done” form of a verb). We mainly use that -ed form as a describing word.
