Plural of growlery: a private room where someone can retreat to be alone, especially when angry or wanting solitude.
From 'growl' (to make a deep sound or grumble) plus the suffix '-ery' (a place where something happens), creating a humorous term for 'a place to growl.' This Victorian-era word is mostly obsolete.
Charles Dickens used this word to describe a Victorian gentleman's private lair—we now call them 'mancaves' or home offices, but 'growleries' perfectly captures that human need for a space to exist without being cheerful.
