Morphology

whupping = whup (transparent) = whup + ing

The addition of the suffix '-ing' to 'whup' forms the present participle, which is a standard derivation.

Etymology

Whupping comes from the old verb whip, meaning 'to beat', and people also use whup to name the sharp sound of a hit. So to whup someone or be whupping them is to beat or defeat them badly.
