The word 'ungrudging' is formed by adding the prefix 'un-' to 'grudging,' which means 'reluctant' or 'resentful.' The prefix 'un-' negates the meaning of the base word. 'Grudging' comes from the Old English word 'grycgan,' meaning 'to murmur' or 'complain.' Therefore, 'ungrudging' means 'not complaining' or 'not reluctant.'
