Morphology

whooped = whoop (opaque) = whoop + ed

Although formed by the productive past-participle/adjunctive '-ed' on the verb 'whoop', the colloquial adjective meaning 'extremely tired' is not predictable from 'whoop' (to shout) and likely reflects dialectal sense shift.

Etymology

The word whooped comes from an old idea of being beaten or 'whipped', from the verb whip, so someone 'whipped' by hard work or a fight would be worn out. That's why whooped now means extremely tired or exhausted.
