Griped, complained (7)

I believe the answer is:

groused

I believe this is a double definition.

'griped' is the first definition.
('grouse' can be a synonym of 'gripe')

'complained' is the second definition.
(grousing is a kind of complaining)

(Other definitions for groused that I've seen before include "Complained" , "made complaints" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
