How to spell whip
What it means: To beat or mix something vigorously.
In a sentence: The baker used a whisk to whip the fluffy cream.
The part people get wrong
Often misspelled as wip or whipp.
Same family: whipped, whipping, whiplash, lash, beat. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: “Whip” comes from Middle English and may be related to a word meaning “quick movement” or “stroke,” which is why it can describe both the tool and the sudden action of striking.
