Etymology
Nerf(tm) brand toys are made of soft foam and are ineffective as actual weapons. One can hypothesize that the term "to nerf", in the context of gaming, came about from explaining that a particular in-game weapon or strategy had been rendered ineffective by whichever party that controls and maintains the game.
