✭✭✭✭✭It means to soften or reduce a mechanic, system, or build component (item, character, race, class, skill, ect).
The name comes from the line of foam toys in the US.3 -

✭✭✭✭✭You know how when you throw a Nerf Football at someone and it does not hurt? Nerfing a skill means it no longer hurts anyone as much or at all.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

Pman85✭✭✭✭Nerf is litteraly the Nerf brand of soft squishy things. When you nerf something you take it and make it softer, make it easier, or make it less that what is was/should of been.
Does that make sense?
I like to think about it like this. You have your regular old pigskin. You or someone else doesnt like it and they change, it to something easier for the kids to play with. Insted of having them toss around a NFL sized pigskin, you can give them the little soft NERF ball...you know for they dont hurt themselves.Guildmaster - Order of Stendarr [XB1] - Apply today!

It means to "make soft", or in other words, not hurt as much, aka be much easier to handle. This is a reference to "nerf rifles" which are toys that shoot soft, plush pellets or balls.
