So, if I'm happy at work and love my job does that mean that I'm gruntled? Confused

I think in the case of the word gruntled, the dis prefix is only an intensifier, since the word 'gruntled' itself means unhappy, as far as I know.

I tried several dictionaries and could not find the word "gruntled".

Thank you, I am no longer combobulated and I am now illusioned.
