Etymology:
Old English grecca, from Middle Dutch grec, from Proto-Germanic grekkô, *grekk- (source also of German *grimm "fierce"), possibly of Celtic origin (compare Irish grían "sun")
Meaning:
A feeling of resentment or ill will towards someone, typically held for a long time and often hidden.
Origin:
The word "grutch" ultimately derives from the Proto-Indo-European root *gʰreh₃-, meaning "to complain" or "to grumble." This root is also the origin of the words "greed" and "grudge."
In Old English, the word grecca meant "complaint" or "grievance." It was also used to refer to a feeling of resentment or ill will. By the Middle Ages, the word had evolved to mean "a hidden grudge."
In the 16th century, the word "grutch" began to be used in a more general sense, to refer to any kind of feeling of resentment or ill will. This usage is still common today.
