It's a change of spelling from French. Disgust is from desgouster, which means to lose one's appetite; from the Latin "gouster", to eat.

However, I think "gruntle" is a wonderful word; it means to grumble.

Good question. Especially since gruntled really gives you the feel of what disgruntled means. So disgruntled should really mean that you were not upset with anything at all. Deep.
