Origin:
The word "whiz" is believed to have originated from the Old English word "hwison," which referred to a quick movement. The Proto-Germanic root "hwīsa" also meant "to move quickly." The ultimate origin of the word is thought to be the Proto-Indo-European root "gʰwíso," which meant "to quiver or shake."
Over time, the word "whiz" underwent semantic changes. It came to be associated with a person who is quick-witted and intelligent, as well as someone who can perform tasks quickly and efficiently.
Today, "whiz" is used in both its original sense of rapid movement and in its figurative sense of intelligence and skill.
