A person who grumbles habitually; a chronic complainer (often used playfully or archaically).
A humorous or archaic coinage combining grumble with -tonian (similar to the '-tonian' in 'Hamiltonian'), creating a mock-formal or jocular term for a habitual grumbler.
This delightfully obscure word shows how speakers playfully invented elaborate terms for annoying personality types—similar to how we might call someone a 'pontificator' or 'prevaricator' with a bit of tongue-in-cheek formality. It's basically early English slang.
