Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, gets its name from the characteristic "whoop" sound made by patients during severe coughing fits. This sound occurs when the person inhales sharply after a series of coughs, causing a distinctive gasping noise. The term highlights both the nature of the illness and its primary symptom, which can be particularly severe in infants and young children.
