   The sisters expressed ungrudging approval of the newly furnished rooms.

Formed from un- + grudging, the present participle of grudge. Grudge came through Middle English from Old French grouchier, 'murmur or complain.' Ungrudging therefore describes a feeling or action offered without the reluctance, resentment, or stinting implied by grudging.
