The term "whip round" originates from British slang, referring to the practice of quickly collecting money from a group of people for a common cause or gift. It is believed to have emerged in the mid-20th century, often associated with informal gatherings where participants contribute small amounts for a specific purpose, such as a farewell gift for a colleague. The phrase suggests a swift, circular motion of passing around a collection, akin to "whipping" around the group.
