Etymology
The word 'whiz' originated in the early 20th century as an abbreviation of 'whizz-kid', which was used to describe a young person who is exceptionally talented or intelligent. Over time, 'whiz' has evolved to refer to anyone who is skilled or proficient in a particular field. The verb form of 'whiz' likely comes from the sound of something moving quickly, like a bullet or a speeding car.
