whipped
UK: wɪpt | US: wɪpt
adj. 1. beaten or stirred vigorously into a light, fluffy consistency (e.g., whipped cream)
adj. 2. (slang) emotionally submissive or overly compliant in a relationship
v. (past tense of whip) 1. to strike with a lash or rod
v. 2. to move or pull suddenly
The word whip originates from Middle English whippen, likely imitative of the sound of a lash. The past tense suffix -ed marks completed action. Over time, whipped evolved metaphorically to describe textures (from the motion of beating) and later, in slang, emotional states (implying forceful control).
