A whoop is a loud, shout, the kind of sound people make when they're really happy or celebrating - 'she let out a whoop of joy.' As a verb, to whoop means to make this sound. You'll also see it inside the word 'whooping cough,' an illness (mostly in children) named after the whooping sound that sick people make when they cough.
歡呼聲、大叫（開心、慶祝時）；whooping cough＝百日咳（因咳嗽聲得名的疾病）
組成This word probably imitates the actual sound of the shout - it's likely what's called an onomatopoeia.
