adjective
informalarchaic
Sulky and ill-tempered, in the manner of someone nursing a grievance.
A grouty person is not violently angry but sullen, surly and quick to snap, usually because something has gone against them. The word grew out of the older noun grout, meaning a coarse porridge or sediment, and it is now rare outside older prose and regional speech. It paints a mood of gloom that hangs in the air of a room.
