Definition
To let out a loud, enthusiastic shout or cry, often expressing excitement, joy, or a battle call.
Etymology
From Middle English 'whoepen,' possibly imitative in origin. The word captures the sound it describes, similar to Old English 'hwopan'.
Kelly Says
Native American warriors 'whooped' to coordinate attacks and boost courage, making a sound that carried across distances—it became so associated with them that it entered English as a specific kind of battle cry.
