The answer
GRIPE
What gripe means
To complain persistently or bitterly about something, often in an annoying or bothersome way.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *gripan*, meaning "to grasp or seize." The word traveled through Middle English and retained its sense of grasping, but by the 1600s it had shifted to mean "to cause pain or distress" (as if something grips your stomach), and eventually came to mean "to complain" — perhaps from the discomfort one feels when gripped by grievance.
