Etymology
The word whiner comes from whine ('to complain' or 'to make a long high sound') plus the ending -er ('person who'), and whine originally meant a long, high noise like an animal's cry. So a whiner is someone who keeps making that complaining sound — a person who complains a lot in an annoying way.
