Definitions

  1. make a soft swishing sound

Word origin

In some noun senses perhaps derived from wizard. In the sense “remarkably skilled person”, it may also simply a misspelling of its shortened form wiz, or it may be a shortening of whiz kid, which may have a different origin, perhaps whiz(z) in the sense of “something very remarkable”, attested from 1908, or the interjection (as in whizz-bang or gee whiz).

Used in a sentence

  • I whizzed the ball past the catcher.
  • We whizzed in the bushes.
  • The first thing Howard did following Vi's departure was to haul the step-stool over to the kitchen sink and whiz into the drain again.
