The term PWNT (owned) means dominated, defeated, or controlled. It almost certainly has its roots in a typographical error of OWNED, which was probably written PWNED (as P is adjacent to O on the keyboard). Since then, the ED ending of PWNED has adopted several forms including PWNT, PWN3D and PWND. All of these terms are commonly used in the context of online war games.Image for PWNT
