The answer
WHOOP
What whoop means
To shout loudly and enthusiastically, often with a sharp cry or yell of excitement, celebration, or encouragement.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English *whopen*, likely imitative in origin—meant to make a loud shout or cry. The word may trace to Old English *hwōpan*, though the exact ancestry is murky. Related forms appear in other Germanic languages, all carrying the sense of a sharp, loud vocalization. The imitative nature of the word (its sound mimics the cry itself) suggests it arose independently in various languages rather than from a single ancestor.
