(adj.)

- Doleful, dismal, depressing, dreary; gloomy or morose.

From Scots via Irish “mala” (eyebrow) + “rocach” (wrinkle)

Used in a sentence:

“Mathilda Meldrop was malagrugrous ‘cause she missed her mother’s ‘Monday Movie Mashups™’ so she made a madcap montage of Mallrats, Mad Max, and Mamma Mia.”
