Grummer

/ˈɡrʌmər/ adjective

Definition

Comparative form of grum; more morose, surly, or ill-tempered.

Etymology

Comparative adjective formed from grum by adding -er suffix (standard English comparative formation for short adjectives).

Kelly Says

Irregular comparatives in English (like 'good/better' or 'bad/worse') are holdovers from Old English, but most short adjectives use -er/-est—'grummer/grummest' follows this predictable pattern that dominates modern English.
