The majority whip gets its name from the term "whipper-in," which refers to a person responsible for keeping a group of hounds in line during a hunt. In parliamentary context, the majority whip's role is to ensure party discipline by keeping members in line to vote according to party lines. This position is crucial for maintaining the majority party's agenda and ensuring that members attend important votes. The term has evolved to signify the task of rallying support and managing party cohesion in legislative settings.
