An archaic or obsolete form of 'grudge'; a persistent feeling of resentment or ill will.
Middle English 'grucche' (to murmur, complain, or begrudge), from Old French 'groucer' or 'grutcher.' The word fell out of favor as 'grudge' became the standard modern English form.
Grucche is a time capsule—it shows us how a word gradually transforms over centuries, with the 'ch' sound becoming a simple 'dge,' until the old form seems like a misspelling!
