Not sure if the Warcraft statment is fully correct, but it is just a misspelled word, like where almost all of this "leet" speak comes from.

It's hard to get an actually pinpoint on these things, but a strategy or FPS is an ideal choice.

People say they "owned" you in a match. Misspelled to "pwned". Might have happend in several games and then people kept doing it. Just like "n00b", "j00", "teh", "1337", and so forth. It starts by a type or someone trying to be "cute", and goes from there.
