Origin
The word "complainer" comes from the Latin word complangere, which means "to bewail" or "lament." This word was originally used to describe people who expressed their grief or sorrow publicly. Over time, the meaning of the word broadened to include people who complained about anything and everything.
The first known use of the word "complainer" in English was in the early 13th century. The word quickly became common, and it has been used ever since to describe people who are always complaining.
