Lots of scandals have "gate" on the end, like Watergate (where Richard Nixon tried to get rid of records against him but was caught and had to resign as President - I think that's the basic details). I think that's where the term comes from, because it was a very scandalous event.

Watergate is a general term for a series of political scandals during the presidency of Richard Nixon that began with five men being arrested after breaking and entering into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate hotel complex in Washington, D.C. on June 17, 1972. The scandal reached to the top levels of American government, and the attempted cover-up of the break-in ultimately led to Nixon's dramatic resignation on August 9, 1974.
