'resentful' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'granny finally hurt by current jibe' is the wordplay.
'granny' becomes 'nan'.
'finally hurt' becomes 't' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'current' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean current or trendy).
'jibe' becomes 'dig' (synonyms).
'nan'+'t'='nant'
'in'+'dig'='indig'
'nant' put after 'indig' is 'INDIGNANT'.
