I didn't have a discussion about orphan negatives on my daily tOT bingo card, but here we are.

The word "disgruntled" originates from the now-obsolete word "gruntle," meaning "to grumble" or "to complain". The "dis-" prefix intensifies the meaning, suggesting a high degree of dissatisfaction and grumbling. "Disgruntled" essentially means to be in a state of grumbling or discontent, not necessarily the opposite of something that would be considered "gruntled“.

There's an updated version of the Atari game Adventure, called Indenture. It added a blue dragon named Disgruntle.

I didn’t put that much thought into it. I’m watching a show called Disappeared and pondered it.

Yes! These are called orphaned negatives, and occur when general terms fall out of use, but their modified forms remain
Much like under/overwhelmed.
You can indeed be "whelmed"
way better video

A discussion of cunning linguists is simply cromulent.

I wish I could say I’m appointed in this comment. But it’s the opposite.
