Is it not a fact that, in order to be disgruntled one must FIRST be gruntled? (Hoo boy! This is gonna start a snowball) :lol:
Not really:
Disgruntled
Main Entry: dis·grun·tle
Pronunciation: dis-'gr&n-t&l
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): dis·grun·tled; dis·grun·tling /-'gr&nt-li[ng], -'gr&n-t&l-i[ng]/
Etymology: dis- + gruntle to grumble, from Middle English gruntlen, frequentative of grunten to grunt
Date: 1682
: to make ill-humored or discontented -- usually used as a participial adjective <they were a very disgruntled crew -- Flannery O'Connor>
- dis·grun·tle·ment /-t&l-m&nt/ noun
From this, we might surmise that disgruntled means that you have been denied the right to grumble & complain.

On the other hand, gruntled has entered common colloquial usage as being happy or contented, so I supposed from a purely colloquial usage, that may be so...
