Best Answer

A tool, or the use of a tool, to control animals (e.g. horses) or to inflict pain or fear on other persons. British Parliament uses the word also for the persons responsible for attendance and voting discipline within the parties in the House of Commons.

The origen of the word (and verb) is the early-Medieval Germanic word "wippen", which means 'swing/flap with force'.
